Container Gardening

Gardening in containers in my opinion is the easiest and most simple form of growing flowers, fruit or even vegetables at home. To many people think that you have to have a large garden or an allotment to be able to garden, this is so not true.

Before I really got into gardening I had been gardening in hanging baskets and containers for years. Tomatoes, strawberries and lettuce were what I first started growing but I soon became much more adventurous and began growing other vegetables. I soon began to grow everything that I could find from the local garden centre, peppers, eggplants, squash, beans, cucumbers, melons, beet, radish, turnips and carrots

Since then I have continued gardening in my container garden but also extended into a large allotment where I grow a lot of different vegetables

But gardening in containers is much better than allotment gardening, trust me. The hard work that has to go into getting a plot ready is back-breaking, the time spent weeding is massive and I find plants on the allotment to be less productive and rich as the plants I grow in containers.

There are so many benefits to gardening in containers I cannot list them all here. Believe me, container gardening is so much easier than having a large vegetable or flower garden to look after.
