was i too optimistic?! (patio garden)
hello, wondering if i was too optimistic getting all of these plants last weekend for my 9b east facing patio spot. this spot probably gets morning sun 10am-12/12:30pm. pictures 2 shows the next building that is very tall so it blocks any sun before 10am.
i know this is not nearly enough sun for the specific plants i got.
there’s 1 persian cucumber with some dill and small lettuce, 4 peppers, 1 cherry tomato, more lettuce, spearmint in a separate container with the tomato, some parsley with tomato, and third pic is cilantro with parsley in the north facing spot that does get some afternoon sunset direct sun…but not much. maybe 2 hours.
i fear i got too excited to grow some of my own produce without really thinking about if they’ll survive. if i notice any dying i will definitely gift them away to coworkers that have the property with space and sun that would love any of these.
before these pics i did take off most large flowers that have developed AFTER potting, so within the last week. 2 days of which were cloudy and overcast. i am
under the impression that helps with directing the plant to more foliage and roots rather than all energy going to try and actually produce fruit.
i am also aware if these do grow at all with so little sun, they will outgrow the plant stands i got. but i’ll figure that out later.
i also have been told fish emulsion is the best fertilizer i should use when i do fertilize. i have not gotten that yet. i wanted to see how they do after the first week or two.
any tips/did i mess up big time?!
thanks so much!!
