The soil here is poor, sandy. in Maryland, i could plant seeds Or seedlings and have months of vegetables on huge plants. Here, I took an enrichment academy gardening class and filled a Large pot With basil, One pepper plant and one tomato plant. I had 12 small tomatoes, only ONE pepper, and gangly basil. I suggest you cordon off a small area with rich soil, top soil, bags and bags— and keep it shaded and watered. Large pots on shaded patio or a small raised Garden bed may work, but don’t expect much produce. I Gave Up.
