Good thinking Stefan :-) I happen to be using parts of that space, and
lots of the indoor space to grow bonsai. I use plants that like shade, as
I don't get any direct sun. Most of the fruits/vegetable and herbs prefer
direct sun. I have managed to keep thyme, rosemary and tarragon without
too much problem.

My bonsai sifu (master/teacher) tells me it took him about 15 years before
he understood watering of bonsai properly! :-) Don't give up.
