Gardening in containers.

I used to do a lot of gardening until the cancer (add all the bad words you know) left me with no energy.
Many people say that I should thank (God, Divine Providence, whoever you believe in) that I´m alive. But I would like to be alive and in good health.
So now I will garden in containers and place the containers where I don´t have to bend. I still remember that decades ago I played with my daughters on the floor. Now I cannot reach the floor and I have to pay so that someone cuts my toe nails.
I will NOT give up. The 2 seedlings I planted are thriving and today I´ll plant 2 more. They thanked me because the seeds were not planted deep enough and they were beginning to bend
Now they are fine. The only thing that I will not do is to visit Dixie for days during midsummer. I will not let them dry as I did a couple of years ago with other plants. The arugula were watered also. Maybe I should place them to a less sunny spot. But I´ll wait for someone else to help.
I hope that Mario can come to help me. I have to cut the grass and throw away lots of things that are in the garage since he did a big cleaning in the garden. I did not take them then because the rain started.
Are there any gardeners here? I know that Anna is.
See you after the seedlings are changed.

@JudyEv That´s exactly what I´d like to do in my next house. I´ll copy your vertical garden. It´s a brilliant idea

I loved your idea of a vertical garden. When I´m in my next house, I´ll ask you to give me ideas.

I don't garden. I hope all your plants flourish and you have a good day.

Container gardening is a smart move to keep up with your passion while managing your energy. It’s great to hear your seedlings are doing well and that you’re finding ways to adapt. Keep up the fantastic work, and hopefully, Mario can lend a hand soon. Happy gardening!

As of today, I have 4 seedlings in an individual container for each. My goal is to plant 7 seedlings. Then I´ll start with another seeds.

Best of luck to you with your planting, I remember my garden days in Latvia on all fours pulling weeds, I could not do that any more or if I tried I could not get up,

I can´t garden like that now. That´s why I´ll use containers.

I don´t plant potatoescas they use up too much space. But there are other plants I love to plant.
