Hello everyone! I was wondering if I could get some help. I am wanting to start a garden. Nothing big, a small amount of fruits and veggies. I have 3 problems starting out.
1- I live in an apartment building. I figure I can get a longer row of trays, and attach them to the railing of my balcony.
2- My apartment faces the west, sun sets in the west. Very hot on my patio daily, does that mean they will just roast in the sun and die?
3- Squirrels. I have 2 squirrels that continue to go on my patio. I don't want to kill them, but obviously I need to keep them away.
Maybe I am just worrying about small things, but I am pretty new to this. I have gardened before in the past, but I had good fertile land to work with. I will be working with (possibly) 5 in. deep trays that attach to the railing.
I am open to suggestions/ideas. I have a small patio to work with, but I don't want to give up.
Thanks!
