Ooh, great article! I have a postage stamp of a yard, and don’t think my landlord would let me dig it up for planting anyway. But the idea that I could have a potted tomato plant on the patio has my mouth watering already!

This article has inspired me to try lettuce in boxes right outside my kitchen on the deck, along with my usual herb pots. =)

A note for apartment dwellers, if you want to start from seed rather than buy seedlings, I had luck using a desk lamp with a CFL bulb for light, and started basil, tomatoes and peppers indoors routinely in my apartment.

Man, I grew SO MANY TOMATOES on my apartment balcony. It was really fun being creative with space and seeing how much I could cram in!

But I am glad to be moving on to a yard this season. :-)

Thank you for this! I’m wanting to start growing something out on our patio. Looks like I need to get some tomatoes, herbs, and strawberries started ASAP!

I like this. It’s too cold out to plant outside yet but I’ve got some indoor container plants growing. I’d like to try an indoor citrus tree at some point.

Great advice, Edward! Back when I was an apartment dweller, it never occurred to me to try and grow anything besides herbs and greens. I *love* the idea of growing pole or bush beans indoors. I think peas would do well, too! And since peas and beans both put nitrogen back into the soil, if someone had a nice, big pot, they could do some companion planting…
