Container Gardens Planted

Most of my gardening will be containers this year. I have several containers of tomatoes, some with basil. I have a container that I put two blueberries in. Bought them at WalMart and they have done nothing, so I put some herbs in that planter as well. They will not interfere if the blueberries ever kick in. I planted two small planters this morning before it got too hot. I made them very full with geraniums, salvia, petunias, dusty miller, dianthus and lobelia. When the plants have settled in I will take pictures. My potatoes are in a container, my peas are in a raised bed.

I have a few containers but haven't planted anything yet. Here's my arbor...

Just my flowers....I sometimes wish I had an area for a garden...at least for some peppers and tomatoes.....You are way to ambitious!

Don't you love cleaning up the "remains?" Try cleaning up after two dogs, that's a lot of fun...NOT!!! The only container gardening I have done is with herbs, I never considered lettuce and spinach, maybe because my containers are not that big..

hi grandpa bob I am sitting here wondering could I grow something in a pot in my room? lol Even just some thing like an African violet or something cheery and alive? I thought about upside down tomatoes but not in my room as its carpeted and oh the screams from housekeeping if I soiled their carpet with water drips.

Now why did I think you were going to rest today, lol.. I see you have been busy again today. Although I have no garden you are tempting me to start some form of container experiment her in my apartment. lol I do hope you get a lot of sun so all the wonderful veggies grow nicely this summer.

I have two container gardens. I planted green onions in both of them. We are going to work on the rest of the garden today.

yea,i just made a new box for outside.have a few things to add to it still before planting,but it's almost done.think i'm going to get a hanging basket for my basil this year.couldn't believe the rabbits ate some last year.didn't think they'd like it!

I've never done that type of gardening but I'm seriously thinking about it this year. Do you leave them out in the sun and rain just as you would a garden? I just mowed the front yard today, we have rain moving in--again--and I wanted the street to look nice. My front yard was a little ratty, we've had very few days when the grass dried out enough to mow!

I don't do container gardening as it's so difficult to keep things from drying out. You only have to forget once and the whole lot are gone.

I thought you were going to rest for the weekend . I did some transplanting from a container where I have red lettuce seedlings to one of my raised beds. And I used a moment of fear (ran out of the house because of an earthquake) to rake the leaves on the lawn.

This is actually my 1st time gardening this year,period.Have never done it before.I planted in the ground.Still wanting to try the containers,though. I planted some lettuce,tomatoes,squash,peppers,onions,broccoli,cantaloupe and watermelon. I can tell when most everything will be ready to pick,except the lettuce and onions.Guess I will have to search the internet and find out more.Still I am so ready for some fresh vegetables,instead of the store bought.

I have herbs in containers on the patio, but apart from that everything edible's either in the garden or in growbags in the greenhouse. Not that it's big enough for that yet - it's all still in little pots. I mostly use containers just for flowers.
