I live in an apartment without a patio but I have two E/W facing windows, so I pretty much always have some sunlight.
Are there any relatively small plants(herbs, maybe?) that can be grown indoors, in a small planter, and without a whole lot of light?
Also, having a planter that hangs out of a window isn’t an option because there is a brick “lip” right outside both windows.

Help! I have always had a herb garden (planted in the earth). This year we have just moved to a home with a very tiny yard (we’re on the golf course and they seem to frown on us planting on the greens… lol). I have filled the flower beds around the house too full of blooming things to have any room for herbs. Sooo, I planted loads of terracotta pots and placed them on the back terrace. All the herbs are doing great except for the Basil. It’s dying!! Any suggestions as to how I can help it along? It gets full sun, isn’t over or under watered, and is planted in miracle grow potting soil. I’ve always had basil flourish- this is vexing! Thanks in advance for the help.

Hello! I’m a new gardener living in an apartment with only a balcony to grow my garden on. So far i’ve been working with small window boxes of herbs and a few vegetables (aside from my flowers). My question is what is the best way to grow a potato plant? Do I need alot of space for this, or can it be grown in a pot? Im completely clueless about this so any help is appreciated!

I’m not sure. I’d really like to find out. It was growing in the garden in my front yard (in West Virginia) over the summer. It had a dark purple, spikey bulb thing on top with leaves around the bottom of the bulb. I can’t really remember if they were poking outward or wrapping around it..
It was a really sturdy flower with a thick stem. It smelled nice too. Personally, I thought it smelled like grapes. Idk how relevent that would be though.
Thanks for any help.<3
It's not lavender. This just has one bulb that's about the size and shape of a large strawberry.
There were like 3 seperate pointed parts to each leaf, as I recall.
The bulb wasn't made up of little seperate flowers. It was one solid thing. But not actually "solid". It could be easily ripped apart.

As the title suggests. I live in a flat and don’t have any garden space, but we do have a number of fairly large window-boxes – around 12″ deep, 12″ wide and 40″ long. I’ve always grown herbs in them, but is there any kind of vegetable I could hope to grow in a space like that? I understand that potatoes and butternut squash are a bit out of my reach, but there must be something that could grow there? Tomatoes? Peppers? Onions? Could I just seed something in now and hope it sprouts?
Thanks, keen gardeners!

I have a large flower garden in my back yard which I have Lilies planted in. However one large protion of the bed is empty. I was wondering if this would be a good spot to plant some culinary herbs? It only gets sun from sunrise to about 1pm. Would that be ok? I would grow them indoors but my cats would eat them up.

I’m starting a dried flower business. Luckily, I work at a flower shop, so I can take the old flowers from there. But I still need a garden to supply myself with the necessary flowers. Is there any way to constantly have fresh flowers ready for harvest?
