Even though I am now blessed with acres of land, I still grow a container garden. Perhaps it’s a habit, but it’s more about convenience than anything else.  I usually plant some cherry tomatoes in containers on the deck just so they are close to the kitchen. It keeps them handy for salads.

I’ve put together a free tip sheet for readers that includes some of my favorite tips for growing plants in pots or containers. It includes information on pots and containers, plants to choose for containers, and more.

Containers and Soil

Many people are confused about the size of containers that are needed for growing vegetables. I’ve put together more free resources here:

  • Information on how to measure recycled containers to estimate their size.
  • Soil and container size.
  • Container herb gardens.

How to Grow Bok Choy

I learned how to grow bok choy through trial and error. Last fall, I noticed some beautiful heads of Chinese cabbage (napa cabbage) at our local farmer’s market. When I asked the proprietor where it was grown, I found it was grown not five miles from my house! Well, that means I could grow all…
