Container Gardening

Posted by Tara Burner 2 comments


When you’re stuck in an apartment where do you grow veggies?
In containers/pots/planters, that’s where.
Yesterday I was happy to find some long planters that were made from 100% recycled product so that was cool and even cooler was they were 1/2 the price of the others that weren’t recycled materials!

I planted green bean and radish seeds yesterday.
Trying my hand at strawberries too.

I have a lone tomato growing now and my peppers are growing!

My basil is out of control because I really need to get out there and take care of it.

While this isn’t a lot, it’s enough for me right now. I mean there’s only so much room on an apartment balcony. One of these days I’ll have a real garden, til then….it can be done in containers, pots.

Update!

Here’s a pic of the radishes. The seeds were put in on Sunday and here it is Tuesday and they’re sprouting!
I know it’ll be awhile before they’re “grown” but still they’re sprouting!
