Hello,

I'm new to this site & to gardening. I'm thinking of starting a container garden, as I live on a very wooded/shaded lot. Can you give me any suggestions?

I have a similar problem so I do container gardening on my deck. This also helps our furry woodland friends at bay. Most veggies need at least 6 hours of sun but I have had good yields on 4 hours of sun. If you can find a spot with 4-5 hours of sun, post back and I'll tell you what I did.
