Advice on growing in NYC area

[whygreenberg]

Hi! I'm a relative newbie, have posted a couple times with "emergency" questions, but mostly been lurking for a while.

I've noticed quite a number of people growing in the NYC metro area. I'm curious if any of you have advice about growing here? Small apartment space solutions? Dealing with the particular seasons as experienced here? Dealing with the dryness of winter in heated apartments, dealing with the air conditioner vs. sweltering heat of the summers, etc.

Any advice and suggestions about anything you think is helpful in terms of growing in the NYC area would really be appreciated. I've been bit by the addiction bad, and would really like to build a collection.

Cheers & thanks,
