I have a 3 meter by 1 meter outdoor area attached to my kitchen, paved, and has restricted sun access because it is roofed and has a wooden panel that looks like this http://www.tradeindia.com/selloffer/2571690/Punched-Hole.html

Enough sunlight peaks through the grooves but the direct sunlight is limited to 2 hours a day max.

This is in a sea country in the Middle East, so it is hot and humid in summer, warm to slightly cool in the evenings in winter. It is winter now, and there is no humidity. Temp around 28 -23 C.

I want to turn this area into a herb and vegetable garden. What types of herbs and vegetables could I grow under the above conditions? (baring in mind the current season).

Many thanks,
Z

They should be sun- and heat-loving, because most of them will be on the balcony or on the roof. A few small ones could be shade-loving.
I would prefer it if they all had some practical uses, such as vegetables or herbs.
Here are some that I’m planning on growing, to give you an idea of the sort of thing I want: Aloe vera, mint, cherry tomatoes, blueberries, green beans and peas, onions and garlic, lemon trees, carrots and lettuce.
Thanks in advance

Hello,
right now i have a little herb garden growing in my bedroom. i have a pot with basil and parsley that’s still young and hasn’t grown much on my windowsill. Then i have 2 basil plants (Italian and sweet), 1 thyme, 1 chives, and 1 arugala plant on a raised shelf on my brother and I’s desk. They are in pots and i have a incandescent light bulb that gives them there heat and light i have a 60 watt bulb in there. I’m also thinking of adding a parsley plants or cilantro plant too. I just put in another light bulb on the opposite side to put out a little more light is this overkill? Also is flourecent or incandecent better for growth and i tried to plant them outdoors but after hours of preperation and digging and getting rid of all the grass and most of the weeds i ran into a rather large obstruction. It’s like a big big big root or rock or something so yah. Is my light sufficient to keep them happy and healthy because they all like hot full sun or partial shade.

Thanks for the help
It’s about 3 feet from a window and my mom said that it’s probably getting plenty of light idk though?

I want green peppers, tomatoes..at this point I get lost. It does get full sun. I might also get a 2nd plot.

Are there vegetables that grow better together, and some that cannot be grown with others? Just help with planning a basic garden…no herbs, don’t have the experience. Help?

Can I also plant flowers? I know some are edible, which ones?

Thank you so much..I am quite excited about this.

Oh…this area got hit by tomato blight last year. So far the year has been unnaturally damp. Should I forgo tomatoes altogether?

My dad put pest moss and manure in his garden. Should I? I don’t know the PH, its in a lot where a building was tore down; lots of bits of crumbled brick, etc, in the soil.
Thanks for all the help!
