Grow veggies like carrots, beans, onions, garlic, lettuces, tomatoes, peppers and radishes in containers for portability and fast, edible results.
Containers are great for growing vegetables as you can easily move them around to follow the sun. Try growing carrots, beans, onions, garlic, lettuces, tomatoes, peppers and radishes.
Beginner container vegetable gardeners will enjoy fast, edible results by planting radishes, spring onions and leaf lettuce. These can be washed and eaten right in the garden and provide encouragement while waiting for slower crops like beans and carrots.
Try growing cherry tomatoes in a hanging basket.
Try growing a mixed planting of various kinds of greens (lettuce, chervil, arugula, endive, radicchio, etc.) in a wide, shallow container for your own instant salad mix. Harvest the tender leaves when they are very young. Re-seed a new container every four weeks for fresh salad all summer.
When growing tomatoes, choose the pot size that fits the selected plant: miniature tomatoes (9 L/2-gallon container); cherry or patio tomatoes (13.5 L/3-gal container); large tomatoes (22.5 to 31.5 L/5- to 7-gal container).
