I have an 8" edge around a concrete slab in which to plant anything, then since the apartment complex has a firm who does all the lawn maintenance, they come in my patio to rake and stuff. So I think everything I do will have to be in containers and boxes hooked to the patio wall. Inside the patio wall, there isn't enough sunlight enough hours of the day for flowers or veggies, I'm afraid.

Is a problem, but i'll figure out something. Then too, I don't know how many years I"m going to be here. IF I can get a job or things drastically, magically improve, I want to get into a house. We'll see.
