Thanks for the growing info. Ours grows in our front flower garden as volunteers and as such gets afternoon shade. We also had a very nice patch out by the compost pile. Both of those were spring/summer crops, however.
I could try starting some indoors and planting out in one of the planters on our front porch. This year the two front porch planters grew Bright Lights swiss chard, Italian large leaf parsley (also grown in flower bed and in main garden), and a bush bean plant! I thought it was a far more interesting front porch planting than the dwarf evergreens that had been there, but I think I was the only one in the neighborhood that went that direction.
