Apartment Quinault Strawberries - April 17th, 2006 at 01:02 PM
Hey,
So I'm a college student, living in a small, second floor apartment. I've always enjoyed taking care of plants and recently impulsed and bought a box of 10 quinault strawberry plants. I have a bedroom window that faces east. And the front of our place faces west. We live in central Illinois, zone 5. So what I'm wondering is, what would be best:
An overhang window box facing east (but I doubt this would hold many plants)?
or
A raised bed in front of our place (facing east) but covered by an overhang?
Maybe I should scrap the idea as a whole though, judging on my lack of growing area...
Maybe someone will have a few suggestions,
Thanks - Kelly
