I live in a third story apartment. I have a decent sized balcony and as we move into spring I would like to get into growing things. I am feeling an irresistible urge to do this. However, I have little to no experience gardening. I currently have three tiny succulents I have not killed yet. Is there a good guide anywhere for ideas on how to start simple little balcony gardens? I would like to grow some herbs, some basic vegetables, and maybe a decorative vine for the rail. I get good morning light but I face the courtyard, so that's not ideal. I definitely want to grow some tomatoes and that seems easy enough. Ideas? Experience? Point me in the right direction?

Hey guys, suggestions for how to set up these pumpkins moving forward? Posting the Twitter link because it’s easier to upload a photo. Plenty of room all around them. https://twitter.com/formerlyfiz/status/1668300601120239625?s=46&t=JBd6ZXmGQ3LmWL-ineTnAA

Arsenic Lupin posted:Pumpkins don't grow up; they spread out sideways. There are a lot of cucurbits you can train up a trellis/string (cucumbers, gourds, a few squash) but pumpkins are waayyy too heavy to support their own weight. Okay. I just didn’t know if I needed to train it one way or another. I saw the tendrils and was like “oh god give him guidance.”

Would my pumpkins produce more fruit if I trimmed the vines? I’ve got three vines and two fruits growing very well. I’ve just been kinda letting it go it’s own thing.

swickles posted:I think the opposite. I looked into growing a giant rear end pumpkin and one of the keys (aside from seed choice) is to trim new vines as they appear so all the resources go into the single gourd. So one vine one fruit? I can do that
