Hi everyone! I am a very novice gardener who is just now getting started. I have a 30in long container that hangs on my porch. I use the "bird's nest" type of filling to keep the dirt in the pot (I hope that makes sense.) I'm not sure what kinds of things I can grow in this. It's in partial shade...the sun only hits that pot a little bit during the day. I'd love to plant perennials if possible. Any ideas? If you have some good ideas for long lasting annuals, I'd love to hear those too. Thanks so much for helping a newbie!!!:-) Ally
