Tue, 07 Feb 2012 19:25:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Rebecca Lee Bliss http://www.squawkfox.com/2009/07/20/container-gardening/comment-page-1/#comment-361418 Rebecca Lee Bliss Sun, 27 Nov 2011 02:56:58 +0000 http://www.squawkfox.com/?p=1838#comment-361418 Okay this here, is great. I just moved to Arizona from New York (I'm not too happy about it, but that's a whole other story) The thing is, my balcony in NY was apparently perfect an I had a decent veggie garden. Now my balcony is surprisingly shady, which is good and bad since the temps go up to 118 here. So my dilemma is shady balcony and arid temps. a secondary question is, how much do we yield. Although I would do it for pure fun, I want to know if I could actually make an ongoing practice. Okay this here, is great.

It is a little drafty there, but they do OK. I'm not trying to sell you anything, but I only use High Mowing Seeds. I went from telling my wife "Tear out all the grass, are you nuts" to wanting to grow everything! Like Chiot’s Run, we bring our herbs into our bay window for the winter.
