Resp:11 We are hoping to find an apt with a flat roof, so we can garden.
Our balcony has shade all day, all year.

At least you can sit out in the shade in summer. Do you have a sunny window?

Not really. All windows on the same side of hte building as the balcony, and
are shaded by the same group of trees.

Is there any open area where you can garden in buckets? One of our neighbors
filled her rental driveway with 5-gal buckets containing tomato and pepper
plants. Someone else with pure sand also gardens in buckets.

When we find our new nest, we'll probably start something there. Besides, it's
crossing the freezing point tonight. Michagan, you can keep your cold, shitty
weather. South Texas should be warm and humid and partly sunny.

It crosses 0F here every night now. -17F one night, supposed to have hit -10
last night and -14 predicted soon. A warm spell coming up this weekend with
highs around 20 then cold again. You can grow lots of things down to about
20F - radishes, carrots, cabbages, mustards, garlic, onions, kale. Beets dont
survive a cold winter. Peas and fava beans are cold tolerant. They sprout
faster indoors. I don't envy you your summers.

I don't mind the summers; it's a little warm, but lemonade or a craft
beer from a local/regional microbrewary helps. For eleven months of the
year, you don't need a heavy coat here. I don't envy you your cold
winters, but I guess we are made hearty for different circumstances.
Oh, a coworker of mine who grew up in AA is loving this.

I don't sleep well when it is 75 or above at night.

Different strokes, and all that. I dn't sleep well when it's below about
75.
