I’m hoping next year to try to grow a few plants on my apartment’s deck. It’s half sun and I live in a temperate area where I’ve had family grow tomatoes, potatos, peas, beans, etc.

I feel like any fruit or veg that can grow on a trellis should, in theory, work. Anyone have any lived experience to share? I’m not terribly good with plants, so I also ask the question “should a novice tackle this kind of project”?

    Thank you for the tips! I have reading to do! I have seen those “as seen on tv” tomato hangers for years, so I was under the misunderstanding they were hearty.

      I’m not an expert, but tomatoes can get blight easily and require a ton of sun and water to produce fruit (but they also need great drainage!)

        Definitely glad I’m giving myself a year to plan! I swear I can grow something here. I want it to be productive, maybe I’ll end up doing some native flowers?
