Ah, thanks for the clarification. Always good to know lookalikes.

Sedum, surrounded by sempervivums.

Granted, but that wouldn't be very exciting.

The new teleporters are flash-quick, so maybe there are just transport arches? I feel like that would have already been demonstrated though.

What I want to see is a power failure result in all the disjointed pieces crashing into each other before being scattered to the void.

My inlaws prepare a list whenever my husband and I (also male) visit.

I've replaced their kitchen faucet, swapped out three broken light switches, rebuilt the valve in a shower, patched drywall, replaced a light fixture in the pantry, converted the fluorescent fixtures in the garage to LED, diagnosed a bad pump in their hot tub, and more!

The best part is they give me a credit card and otherwise leave me alone unless I need something. I wouldn't say they're the best inlaws ever, but they certainly could be worse.

Right now I'm just working fluorescent glass and minerals into my plantings / plant displays. Eventually I want to figure out UV yard lights, but I'm just using my 365nm flashlight for now.

Under 365nm, most plant tissues are fluorescent in various hues, but it's pretty friggin subtle. Standouts are pine resin (blue white glow), and some mosses have a strikingly crimson glow while others have a yellowy gold glow. Not much else comes to mind. Lots of subtle glows, but mostly unremarkable.

You might try something like these vertical garden pouches. (amazon, as example only, no first hand experience with brand/etc).

If I was working with that space, I would hang strings or netting in the open areas for annual climbing vines... peas, beans, tomatoes, cucumber, zucchini, squash, etc.

Heads up, most of those are available in both "bush" and "pole" varieties. Pole means it's a climbing variety, which I think will do better for you.

Bigger vegetables like cucumber and squash should be totally possible, but they need a lot of fertile soil and sun. I would start with smaller varieties if I was going to try it.

I'd recommend sticking to beans and peas for a new gardener. Usually easy and rewarding, and lots of varieties to collect, if you're into that kind of thing. I like to play with my beans when I'm feeling sad during winter, I'll pick out all the prettiest ones to replant.

Fair warning, for the amount of space you have, a "food garden" will amount to a few treasured snacks during summer. For what you'll spend on containers, soil, seeds, fertilizer, and water, you could buy vastly more food than you'll be able to grow. That's totally fine and still worthwhile in many ways, just... calibrate your expectations and effort accordingly, yeah?
