I have a sunny upper deck on my home that is inaccessible to wildlife and I have purchased grow pots and other suitable containers. Water is located a few steps away in my kitchen. I would like to grow white potatoes, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers and maybe some squash this season. I may ask you for recommendations on soil and fertilizer. Thanks for your recommendations!
