The south side of your house will have the most sun - especially if you're somewhat far north. I would go for either the east or west side instead. Before I had the trampoline realization, I used our east facing porch to limit sunlight without having to bring the plants in/out for a few hours a day.

East is easy, that's the front. I can put them on the porch! Still not much to protect them from wind, but so be it. May the healthiest plant survive?? XD

If they're up against something they'll surely get less wind - right?

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

They can be right against the house, so yes! It's so very windy sometimes, so I just am concerned about them.

They have been placed underneath a chair. They seem good? No yellowy sunburned leaves! So that's good, I think!

[–] IMALlama@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Indeed, congratulations! Just make sure you're getting them enough water.

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I've been bringing them inside at dawn and watering them, is that enough? Some are scrawny still, but I blame that on them, and very much not me!

[–] IMALlama@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

As long as they're not wilty life is good!

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)
