I gave up a southern view for a a skyline what can i say. So anyway i’m a cook, sometimes profesionaly, and wanted to try to grow and then incorperate some edible flowers into my cooking. Does anyone know any that grow well on little sunlight? I’m going to end up putting it in a closet with a sun lamp in the winter by defualt but would like something that didnt become anemic you know?

I am planning to build a bamboo/cane-shade in my roof garden (or rather pay someone to to it :) I am looking for ideas… I’d like the shade to cover only part of the roof area to provide shade in summer (summers in Malta can be very hot!). The shade has to stand strong wind, sun and rain and be aesthetically pleasing. Any design ideas?

Many thanks,
Inga
