Hey there, it's Ken Lain, the Top 10 Gardener, back with Lisa Watters Lain in the studio, ready to share some garden tidbits. Today, let's dive into the world of "Growing Better Herbs & Vegetables in Containers".
It's a topic close to every gardener's heart, especially those eager to cultivate their own fresh produce, and with today’s high prices, we are seeing more and more of you growing your own vegetables. Container gardening isn't just convenient; it's a gateway to a bountiful harvest right on your doorstep.
Â
So, picture this: your patio adorned with lush herbs and thriving veggies, all nurtured within the confines of a container garden.
Â
First, choosing the right container. Opt for pots with good drainage holes, crucial for the health of your plants, especially herbs like rosemary and lavender that detest soggy conditions.
Â
Next, placement is key. Before planting, decide where your container will reside, as moving it once filled can be a hefty task. And speaking of filling, ensure you leave a couple of inches at the top for watering. Trust me, your plants will thank you for it.
Â
Now, let's talk watering. Aim for mornings, providing ample hydration for your plants to thrive throughout the day. And if you're considering a drip system, ensure it's evenly distributing water, reaching every corner of your container garden.
Â
So, whether you're dreaming of fresh salsa from your own tomatoes or craving the aroma of homegrown basil, container gardening offers endless possibilities. Swing by Water's Garden Center for all your container gardening needs and let's embark on this green journey together!
