  • What kind of plants and what sort of setup? (Not asking for anything doxable, just an idea of what you could be working with in the new place.)

    There’s a lot of creative ways to have plants, even ones that are just indoor plants. There are also small hydroponic indoor garden kits that could fit on a bench top or windowsill for herbs, bonsai, or air plants.

    (I’m so sorry, I’m not good with emotional support and tend to be a fixer but I understand if this is not helpful or wanted)



  • Idk but maybe look at companion planting guides, or what type of sacrificial plants to lure pests off more valuable veg

    Might give some ideas

    Edit: I know tomatoes are heavy feeders and beans have that nitrogen fixing thing that enriches the soil, maybe that’s a good combo and they both climb so could share the stakes/lattice. Maybe even plant the beans tomatoes and zucchini interspersed.

    Just throwing out ideas. Someone experienced weigh in

    Edit: Also I saw something once about people planting things with deep roots and shallow roots in together so they made the most of the shared small space but I haven’t tried it.

    If I tried it it would be baby spinach and carrots because those are what I’m familiar with. But strawberries spread over the surface of the soil with runners so maybe they have relatively shallow roots and can bunk in with the carrots?

    Idk though. It also depends on their sun water and drainage needs, and if they inexplicably don’t work out together for some other reason. You’d have to check proper sources whether they combine well
