Growing Container Herbs
I am very new to gardening and am trying to plant a herb garden, i live in a block of flats and get early afternoon sun for about an hour and a half, please advise what plants / herbs i can plant and how to pot them for filtration in the soil.
Thank you
Lindsey

Lindsey you can grow anything in a container, from herbs to roses to fruit trees. The real question is, "what can't you grow?"
Sunlight
But your problem is a lack of sunlight. The hour and a half is unfortunately only good for growing shade loving annual and perennial flowers. You can still enjoy a garden but you won't be able to grow any of the common herbs or vegetables with that amount of sunlight. You need at least six hours of sunlight a day to grow herbs/vegetables.
Having said that little bit of bad news - check out the shade gardening pages in the perennial section as well as the container gardening section.
