Container Vegetable Gardening
Vegetables are the main thing that I grow in containers; they look great and can be eaten which is an added bonus over growing vegetables.
I find vegetables in containers to be highly successful and I always get a good crop from each plant. Almost any vegetable that grows well in the ground will do well in containers however by choosing varieties that are suitable for your growing conditions you will soon find that you have some amazing fresh vegetables.
I have had great success with some vegetable varieties that are specially bred to be suitable for growing in containers. Tomato Tiny Tim, Radish Cherry Belle and Lettuce Little Gem are some of my favorites to grow however seed companies such as Sutton Seeds who I buy all my seeds off have a great selection of vegetables that can be grown in containers.
The biggest issue I find is that many of the vegetables grown in containers need quite a lot of water and when watering your vegetables by hand on a daily basis it can be quite a big job.
There are some major benefits however, vegetables grown in containers will be much less vulnerable to attacks by pests and disease.
Growing your own fresh vegetables in containers is easy if you know the real basics!
