Yup that would be great! Its definitely a bummer because I am in sunny southern California in a region that is identified as zone 10b. Just the landlord plated a big tree which shades out most of the yard. So the last couple years I have only been successful with herbs like rosemary, mint, and cilantro. And some larger plants like basil and chard. Everything else just doesn't get enough sunlight.

Shepherd hooks can be put almost anywhere, and tomato plants make excellent hanging plants. If you have steps, a porch, or walkway or any other creative place to put a pot, almost all things can be grown in pots. I have great results by using pots.
