OH good, I hope I don't kill them. I'm terrible with house plants and
only the hardy make it.
No trees or buildings, window is 4ft tall x 3 feet wide, with only a
2 foot roof overhang that only shadows a little in hot summer months.
Oh, I also have back door with 3x2 window in it, it's off the roofed,
but open porch, still plenty of sun, facing West. Giving this small
room (8x10 feet with white walls) all day sunlight, missing just the
direct first several hours of sunrise but rarely a need for the
lightswitch in the day hours. Guess I have about 75-80% sunlight ?
Guess I'm really North (rather than NW) of Portland, so I'm 3 hours
South of Seattle, an just under an hour North of Portland, a mile
from the Columbia River.
