Ilove❤❤❤❤❤❤❤the way you make your video
Thank you. We live in the desert of western Colorado.....hot and dry. 62 years ago, my mother in law gave me a cutting of her favorite mint plant....we lived in New England at the time. I had it there and then moved it when we moved west. It is flourishing in a large container where it only gets about 2-3 hours or sun per day. It is wonderful for mint tea and makes a wonderful mint jelly....
Absolutely LOVED the speed of this video. Jam packed with info. Thank you!!
Thanks for the inspiration! Btw bangs look cute on you!
Cucumbers grow really good in pails. I grew over 150 plants last year 5 seeds per pail
Asparagus, Okra, Roma Tomatoes, Green Peppers, Yellow potatoes, leaf lettuce, kale, Spinach, winter squash, onions for my husband from zone 5.
I have a small space so I grow peppers, basil, nasturtium, dill, with my cherry tomatoes in a large 23-24 in Terra Cotta container
I grew two varieties of eggplant in Dollar Tree mop buckets in cow manure and compost last year.

I started my garden in containers and grow bags. I live in zone 9b SW Florida, but in 2023, I decided to grow my vegetable garden in raised beds. It's been a game changer for me. It's been a lot less work, less time watering, less time amending the soil. I can do more companion planting. I had little to no bugs last year. Overall, I thought I liked container gardening, but I love raised bed square foot companion gardening better.

If you can do raised beds then that is an easier option, glad it's worked well for you!
As a Gardner who has a fairly large garden but am experimenting with containers this helps me plan out my garden space and try new things. THANK YOU!!

I think you covered pretty much ALL my favorite vegetables. I am going to be growing in containers a lot more going forward. Thanks for a GREAT video!
This is perfect! My husband and I are renters and we also live in the desert where the ground is hard as a rock so it's nice to have an alternative means to garden. Also, your cauliflower is beautiful!
Love this thank you! Currently looking at growing in my balcony so this is amazing 🤩
Hello from OKC. First year starting me my Garden/Containers project...woohoo. Canning and Prepping as well . Wow excited can't wait til winter to look back and see what if anything I accomplished. 😊 All with the help of My Lord, of course...Take Care Blessings 🙏
I've been planting in 5 gallon buckets and grow bags for a few yrs now.loved this video!!!!
I enjoyed this video because I have a balcony garden so everything I grow is in containers. Like you said you can control those evasive plants so much easier in containers.
Thank you,I have some planting to start and needed ideas for containers. 💐

My favorite is Swiss chard. I have it in my large pot and have harvested from early spring through December in my greenhouse.
Loved this video! I literally want to plant ALL of these veggies and herbs!
I love containers! I live in a very dry desert also. From Utah just above you. I love to layer my containers like a mini hugelkulture pot. And then plant in the top compost layer. Then mulch the top with wood chips. Containers in the desert sure do dry out fast. But having them layered with organic materials keep a lot more moisture. I love learning from you. Great information and beautiful videos and pictures as always! Great job!

Believe it or not I am growing corn in a 20 lbs grow bag. I put about six plants in each bag. So far the corn is three feet tall. Dark green and lots of broad leaves. I can’t wait until harvest. I want to see if I was successful.
Loved this video, so much good info. Thanks love!! 💚

The best thing about container gardening is you can move them around the yard, optimizing growth using the weather.
Thank you so much for your information

Never tried it before but I'm gonna try beets in a half whiskey barrel. Potatoes have done well for me in the past.
Oh my goodness... You've got the most beautiful gardens.. Thank you so much for all the advice and encouragement. I'm a desert city dweller and containers are a lifesaver as far as watering goes. If I might ask, do people have success with grow bags ? 💜🌱💜
Amazing ideas really 👍👏👏
Great information 🫐
Thanks very very Beauty from Ecuador.
I grew Zucchini Summer Squash well in a 20" plastic pot that has a hole for drainage. I purchased this at one of the big box home improvement stores for under $20.00 each, two seasons ago. I also have had success with Imperial Artichokes (one per pot same kind of pot)

The only thing I grow in containers are blueberries, easy to keep soil acid and moist, although I have also grown sweet potatoes in containers.
I grow mustard microgreens in my empty egg carton Amazing Enjoy my secret of Year round salad😋😋
