Easy Container Gardening

Container gardening is the hot new rage. Everyone has room for a container garden whether it is a kitchen windowsill herb garden or some hanging basket strawberries. And container gardens are super easy to maintain. You don't need a green thumb to have a thriving container garden!

Just because you live in an apartment doesn't mean you cannot grow a few tomato plants or berry bushes. Imagine fresh blueberries on your oatmeal that you picked while you cooked your breakfast. Yummy!

Container Garden Plants 

You can grow a large variety of plants.

Container gardening does have its limits but most people will find enough variety to make them happy.

The most popular container grown plants are tomatoes (especially cherry tomatoes) and herbs. But you can grow a large number of vegetables or other types of plants in containers.

The most important thing to remember when creating container gardens is that you need a lighter soil so it doesn't "pack" and crush the plant's root system.

Water your container garden regularly. If your plant is ever allowed to dry out, it may not recover. So use a self watering container if possible.

Small pots can dry out super fast on a hot summer's day so you may need to water your container garden twice a day.
