I have a sunny space next to my garage that happens to be paved right now, I am pretty limited with sunny spots, I was sort of thinking about growing some veggies up the exterior garage wall, by making boxes and having some sort of net or lattice to cling to
now see I want a lot of veggies,
containers limit the plants growth size? or do we just assume we can't make enough containers to get as many veggies as you would in a regular garden...
what I am asking is, if I grow beans or peas or something similar, up the wall will it be worth it, will I (is it possible to) get a lot of veggies or just a couple nice meals, I mean why bother if it is just a cute hobbie, I want to feed my family...
I have about 20 feet in lenght along the garage, I could make boxes of any depth, and have plenty of width space available too...
what I am trying to figure out is if working from containers will be satisfying enough, I don't mind making lots of them or should I just go to plan b?
