I still need to go back and get a grape tomato plant (I thought I had one but got the wrong one) and rosemary. Maybe garlic too, if I can find some.
Some info on container gardening:
"Here is a sample of things you can grow at home.
Small pots can be used to grow herbs of all kinds: basil, chives, oregano, rosemary and many more
Crops in an 8 inch pot: garlic
Crops for a 2 gallon pot: cucumber, squash, peppers, eggplant
Crops that can be grown in a 5 gallon windowbox: lettuce, onion, radishes, spinach, carrots, beans
Crops for a 5 gallon pot: 1 plant each (3 in a 15 gallon pot): broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, chinese cabbage, tomatoes

Do those upside-down things really work? I've been thinking of getting one for my honey.
ReplyDeleteThis is my first time trying the upside down thing. I looked around online and found people who had done it successfully, making their own instead of buying that one on TV. I bought a wrought iron hanging planter lined with that grass-like stuff and cut a small hole in the grass-like stuff and put it down through there. I will have to update you as I go along, but I expect it to work. They also say you can do cucumbers and peppers and other things in them as well. I wanted to do a cucumber plant like that too but so far I only have the one basket.
