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.
