Hello fellow gardeners! I have a huge garden with veggies, herbs and small fruits. I grow almost everything and tried many different growing methods. My biggest successes with containers were zucchinis, eggplants, bell peppers, hot peppers, cantaloupes, melons, radishes; Fuku Komachi and Tokyo Silky turnips, spinach and lettuces. Although it requires daily watering and more nutrients, I never had such plentiful harvests and less pests. The not so successful were cucumbers. This year I will test growing bags. hoping that the earth retain the moisture. I try different varieties every year to keep it interesting and make it fun.
It’s seeding time ! Spring is almost here 🙂 Have a great season !

this year I am trying Kentucky Wonder pole beans think it will be fun to watch them climb
on trellis and maybe give some shade too, the deck gives me more growing space and I have a huge
collection of pots, so why not give it a try I recommend potting soil with compost the other soils do dry
out to fast or are not loose enough and get packed down.
cherry tomato and 55 tomato in very large containers
also basil and oregano I do well with peppers in containers also.
it is nice to have close to the kitchen.
my garden is not far but seems like it when I am trying to make a salad dressing
and need to clip basil and oregano into it. so this is helpful, use you containers even if you have a garden.
plant every thing in them aslyum to Japanese maple trees in giant pots they all do well even if you do
everything wrong. fish emulsion is great for organic food and easy too give. nice to give plants a new
bacth of soil every year and turn the old into the compost pile .
good luck every one. just have fun.

I just started my own urban garden this year, using mostly pots too. We planted two tomatoes that are tolerant to our weather, plus lettuce and zucchini using containers we already had in the yard. I can’t WAIT for the plants to start producing fruit. I think the biggest hurdle of gardening is getting over how “hard” or the “wrong” circumstances we might be in. There is ALWAYS something for everyone to grow. Whether it be inside or out, fruit or veggie or herb – just growing something!!

Black bean and cucumber. . All in pots. .so far they’re doing pretty good. . Last year I started with just tomatoes
