# Any recommendations on what I could grow is this shady lil corner? It…

_Posted by Keiko on 2026-06-22_

Any recommendations on what I could grow is this shady lil corner? It gets plenty of indirect sunlight, and I live in zone 6a/7b.

I’m VERY new to gardening and have a 5x10’ area to work with. Half of my balcony gets partial/direct (6-7hr, very intense) sunlight, but this little corner gets pretty much no direct.

I found this tiered planter on FB marketplace. I’d hate to plant anything that couldn’t survive the environment.. At first I was thinking leafy greens in a stacked bed (lettuce, spinach, etc).. But now I’m thinking maybe herbs..?

Any advice is incredibly helpful!! Thank you :)
