i have many boxes in my screen porch which gets a good deal of sun. i was hoping to use the porch to grow vegetables my wildlife is particularly fond of-so that maybe I would get some for once! lol however, i've tried lettuce, tomatoes, peas (did so so), ocra and brussel sprouts, carrots there to no avail. I leave the door open to let in the bees but no luck. should i give it up?
