Hey all,
I've been interested in starting to grow a few things for myself, but my one problem has always been space. I am an urban apartment dweller so space for me is at a premium. I have a very small patio and a couple of small plots next to my exterior windows (7x4 and 2x 3x2 respectively). What would be some easy low maintenance high yield things I could plant in that limited space? This would be my first time trying to grow anything and am thinking of using small planter boxes. Any suggestions on books, videos, and other resources, as well as examples, and knowledge you all would like to share would be greatly appreciated.

regards,
Joe
