Joe, a lot depends on available light, so we all would need to know what direction your windows (patio door?) face. Then it is only a matter of choosing plants that would grow well in that available light and of course, be the size that is manageable in your space. Of course, you can always purchase/build a "light-stand" to supplement your plants with more light. Lots of people grow orchids under various types of Gro-lights, with little natural light available. Your imagination is the only limit to what you can grow.
Give us the best estimate of your growing conditions and we'll go from there.
