hey everyone i just had to share my experience with container gardening and how its completely transformed our small balcony into an oasis kinda sounds cheesy but honestly we've gotten so much use out of it now that even hubby is on board which was a miracle in itself haha

so anyway were thinking about starting some winter crops next month and after doing tons of research i'm still really unsure what to do with my two biggest containers one gets decent sunlight all day long while the other only sees direct sun for like 2 hours at best has anyone else had success growing stuff in less than ideal conditions ie partial shade? also are there any varieties that thrive better under those circumstances would love some advice

also kinda unrelated but i've been thinking about building a vertical garden using old wooden crates and some twine we have lying around has anyone tried this out before or know if its worth the effort?

anyway thanks in advance for all your input guys appreciate it always

OMG GUYS!!! I just had to share my EPIC success with you all !!! So I tried cold plunging after getting out of the shower yesterday ??? and today I was feelin' like a MILLION BUCKS ! Now, about that garden... I planted some new "CryptoBlossoms" ?? (just kidding, but wouldn't THAT be AMAZING????) - seriously tho, it's a low-maintenance succulent mix that my girl said would thrive in even the WORST growing conditions!!! ANYWAY, after getting back from that insane crypto meetup last night (!), I came home and saw my CryptoBlossoms were already FLOURISHIN' ??? I'm HOOKED on these plants now! Has anyone else tried 'em out? Any tips for a newb like me???
