Oh I hope for you that you can grow stuff again in the near future.
The more I think about it, the more I'm willing to try it on the balcony, I'm now going to keep an eye on the sun/shade moments for a couple of days and find out if they should be in the sun or not because the pot is so extremely heavy that I can't move it around once I decide to go for it.

But as I'm collecting the seeds already, I may just give it a go..
