I have a balcony on raised ground floor with lots of trees hiding the sun. In the summer I get a few hours of direct sunlight, not enough to get anything flowering. I attempted growing tomatoes, and ended up with the tallest, most useless plant ever. Strawberries were also mostly leaves. There is a planter integrated on the balcony design though, which is nice.
Is there anything with fun leaves I could grow ? Preferably low maintenance and resistant to low temperatures. (not necessarely frost resistant, though better)
Edit: I also generally can’t keep stuff that flowers, hence my request.
I don’t think I ever tasted goutweed, but I like all the others, thanks ! Also I would probably never have thought about these. So, thanks again.
I know a spot at the side of a forest where there’s like an acre of wild goutweed. As goutweed tends to overgrow everything else, it’s really easy to harvest big portions in a short amount of time. I use it the same way as spinach. Either pure with some nutmeg and cream as a separate dish or just added to stir fries, pasta etc.
