Re: How does your garden grow, FS?

Okay. Well, flowers that do well in shade are a bit more limited and usually less showy, but you can try annuals like impatiens or pansies, or perhaps some wildflowers which naturally grow in shade, like columbine, phlox, or cranesbill geraniums, which come in a lovely shade of blue. I don't know how anti-deer any of those are, but the wildflower suggestions are very common in nature so they're probably not that tempting. :)

Tomato leaves are mildly toxic, but I think you'd have to eat a lot of them to get truly sick so I wouldn't worry too much about it. Cherry tomatoes are great for container gardening, but they too need half a day's sun at least and plenty of room and fertilizer. Lots of compost.

I'm cool with that, and I'll look into those! I love shades of blues~

Ah, good. I was thinking about hanging a basket of tomatoes, maybe from the patio above mine, and hoping that it'd be too tall for them, but maybe I'll be able to just put a couple in the dirt area in front of my fence? :D

I think it'd be okay. If they taste anything like they smell, I doubt they'll have much appeal to kids and they're sort of prickly-fuzzy as well. In general, tomatoes do better in the ground, even one plant needs a lot of space because they can get fairly bushy and sprawl all over. You'll need at least one of those wire cage thingies to prop it up, preferably with a wooden stake to reinforce it. You'll want to amend the dirt with plenty of compost. A couple of sweet 100 cherry tomato plants can yield a pint of tomatoes a week or more, plenty for salads or just eating plain. Nothing beats a homegrown tomato. :)
