So I have had gardens for years growing up, and now that I'm in a position to do so I want to try to grow some of my own food. However I have some hurdles to doing this.
First off, I live in a small apartment, so I am limited to what I can do either on a window sill or outside on a patio/porch. Space is my biggest problem, I know some plants can get fairly large.
Second, I don't know what to start with for spicy stuff. I love Carribean Red Habaneros and other things in the range of that level of spice, Cayennes are also a favorite, but I don't know what is easier to grow or what would work better for beginners. As far as what I'd be using them for, I want to make some spices for my wife like with the cayennes and hot sauces/salsas with the hotter stuff.
So if you have any advice as to what I should look to do for containers (wife is a neat freak, in a good way), organization, what to grow etc... then I'd love to hear it!
I know a little about planting and growing, but I am always wanting to learn something new.
