It looked like you had it going pretty well. If you had kept it indoors, would it have become unmanageable? I ask because my space here is probably about like yours, but I don't have the option of planting outdoors. In fact, If I could get away with a 15 gallon pot, I would. I posted a question just now, trying to determine just how large/awkward these plants can become, and while I'd like very much to grow a double mahoi, maybe I'm smarter to stick with a red dwarf, or maybe 'Truly Tiny'?
Thanks for describing your experiences with this.
