OK, someone with experience growing with limited light... Which
peppers would grow best (or least poorly) in a heavily shaded, very
small back yard that only gets northern light due to buildings, and the
northern light is filtered by very very large oak trees up top, tulip
poplar and mulberry choked with morning glory (morning glory has to be
the most evil plant in the midwest outside of poison ivy...) through
the middle, and invasive honeysuckle with a bit of poison ivy down low?
Since I can't even grow grass, hostas struggle, and have taken to
mulching my entire back yard, I had given up on growing my own chiles
until I am able to buy my own place (no time soon, I fear). But if one
person can grow in the woods, perhaps I can, too. What would folks
suggest for, say, 5 5-gallon bucket's for containers, my given lighting
situation, my preference for moderation, and location in Indianapolis?
And, outside of hot peppers, could I grow a paprika in my lighting in a
bucket?
