Container gardening

If you’re not into the whole ground garden and sowing. (I like to call it the old fashioned way) J then container gardening is for you. Did you know you can grow just about anything in a container? Really…Just make sure that you buy a big enough container. Most plants you can start off with a small container but as the plant and root grows you will need to transplant into a larger container.

Herbs do great in small pots, not to mention you can grow all year just bring them inside. Tomatoes do well any size from cherry to beefsteak (just make sure you but a cage for support). I even seen greens and cabbage done in a pot. Some pros of growing in a pot is it’s great for people who have limited mobility, you can put the pot anywhere, provides perfect soil and neat. The only con is that you have to water more and make sure as your plant grows so does your container.

Many stores now offer container based plants that’s already started. Just take home and water and watch for sprouts. I mean really it doesn’t get any easier. Just a warning once you start you will become addicted.  

I will continue to post pics and progress of my containers plants so feel free to ask questions to guide you along your journey of gardening the urban way. Wink.
