I have a Hosta plant on my deck that's at least 22 years old. It's very low maintenance and thank the Lord it blooms every year and I have a vine plant that you can just take a couple of pieces off, stick them in soil, water them and they will continue to grow. I wish I knew the name of it but vine plants are pretty easy to grow.

I'm disabled and garden with storage totes, 3 & 5 gallon buckets, half plastic drums, grow bags, etc.. I have sand cherries🍒, blueberries and a fig tree in the drums and lots of everything else in the containers. I grow lots of Swiss Chard, 🥬, collards, green onions, bell peppers, tomatoes🍅, cucumbers🥒, 🍆 eggplants, zucchini, summer and winter squash as well as herbs of all kinds.

I am a serial plant killer but I currently have yellow marigolds in planters. Fingers crossed because it's been two weeks and they are still alive!

My goodness, what a great idea using the basket with the laundry bag!

@teejay1650

2 жыл бұрын

I would be very careful using a laundry basket for growing any fruit or vegetables. Toxins from the plastic can leach into the soil, thus into the plant. Especially in the sun as the pot/basket is heated. There are specific plastic containers that are acceptable which you can research on line. Also, Dollar Tree plastics have been shown to contain high amounts of toxins that cause cancer. Not just a laundry basket but the food containers and children’s toys (that they put in their mouths because that’s that kids do). Anyway… just saying be wary.

I bought two large plastic totes from Menards for around $3.50 each. they look similar to a planter, except the handles. The handles are low, so not too noticable. Kind of a beige color with some swirl in the plastic. They are as big or bigger than the laundry basket, so the handles are handy. Not sure how well they will do over a Michigan winter. They are flexible, so hopefully I can get several years out of them. I miss my old galvanized washtubs. They were great, and no plastic!t

Tip on using larger containers - if you don't really need all the soil for a huge plant, save using some soil and take up room with empty smaller nursery pots, empty plastic bottles, pieces of pool noodles or Styrofoam.

@suellenw561

I put packaging styrofoam in the bottom of 3 LARGE pots about 20 yrs ago & they're still there. You really don't need that much soil depth for most plants. About 6-8" is usually sufficient.

Have not counted recently. But over 160+ house plants and a garden bed for veggies. Still working on what I want for my black urns.

So I suck at growing things. I'm trying but I don't think it's my talent. But... I did put a green onion root in some water and it actually grew!! Y'all! I was so excited that I was telling everyone like I discovered the secret to life lol

I decided to Winter over 17 geraniums. They flourished all winter. The beginning of April I took several cuttings from the plants and still have the mother plants. If all cuttings root I will have 50 geranium plants to share with my friends. Our daughter gifted me for my birthday and November to succulents a month for a year. So I'm watching those babies grow quickly right now this spring.

@pamelajefferies3197 I have camping tables.2 of them.They have legs that are adjustable. These tables are long & narrow. So I leveled the tables to the bottom edge of the window sill. My window sills are only two feet off the floor We have huge corners windows 6ft by 9 ft. I put them in the South window.We have a two foot over hang on the outside of the house. Left geraniumsin the house there with saucers underneath them. And watered whenever they were dry. They will have leaves that die off, not to worry. Continue with faith. Hope this helps.

@pamelajefferies3197 oh I wintered over Baby face pink and bright magenta geraniums. Both did well.

i have a fig tree in a planter. I'm from Toronto, Canada and so happy to be able to take my fig tree outdoor finally because the weather is much warmer.

I have A LOT of plants iin containers of all sizes outside after discovering they're much easier to care for than things in the ground. I'm in Southern CA near the beach and get morning sun in front, so have a lot of succulents and rather drought-tolerant things that can take full sun. To keep things looking good all year, I focus on planting perennials that won't die out seasonally. A little searching online provides plenty of information about growing plants in containers.

I have 7 herb pots growing, a few flowers pots and potatoes... aloe plants and some bulbs.... all in planters!

I like how you repurposed the hanging plant. I do that all the time; it's a great tip. In the Spring or around Mother's Day, hanging plants often go on a deep discount sale and are actually cheaper than buying the individual plants many times. They've also been put together by a professional designer, so you know the colors, shapes, and textures go well together.

I love growing rosemary. I live in southern Alabama so it gets super hot. These things don’t need extra attention. They have remained happy in sun and rain and didn’t die in winter. I highly recommend them as they can be used in cooking and they help keep mosquitos away. I also have a Meyer lemon tree and several other potted plants.

The double mesh trash can idea is brilliant!

In pots in my home? Well,.... I have a 5 year old Chinese Fan Palm, a large Aloe Vera and 2 of her babies, a 10 year old Double Hibiscus tree, a beautiful Monstera plant, a Bromeliad and a basket planter with a small palm plant and a small prayer plant. THEN I just started some carrots, broccoli, onions, acorn squash, sugar snap peas, cherry tomatoes, and I'm rooting some sweet potatoes. AND I'm getting ready to root some white potatoees and going to start getting my yard ready and also build some raised beds to transplant the veggies I started indoors. Also, I'm also going to trim my blackberry bush thats in a large container outside and I still have a lot more planting to do: corn, melons, herbs, etc.! I used to have over 50 indoor plants but stopped growing so many indoors. Now I enjoy growing edible plants outdoors and a few indoor plants. Gardening is FUN!!!!

Growing my own citrus trees in pots from seeds from the fruit I bought. And a avocado trees in pots.

Hi to all! I am enjoying this video. Yes I have almost all of my flowers and vegetables in containers. I find it easier to grow in containers than in the ground. I grow lettace, potatoes, beets, beens, carrots,tomatoes, spinach and sweet potatoes all in containers. Some are on my deck and some are in the yard. To take up room in the bottom of large containers I put broken sticksand leaves you can also put shredded paper, all of these will break down over time and enrich your soil. Good luck to you on your growing adventures! Just remember the smaller containers need watering more often than larger ones.

I have many things growing all year from clippings from store bought vegetables and seeds from fruits. Onions (green, cooking, purple, Spanish and vadalia) Horseradish from roots, ginger from risomes, romaine lettuce from core roots, celery from core root, broccoli from core stem, Orange tree from seed, papaya from seeds, apple tree from seeds, pineapple from leafy root. I'm always trying to grow anything that I have bought but I also forage to find plants to grow for medicines. I do have many house plants as well.

I grow orchids, succulents, cactus, ferns, roses, hibiscus, lilies, so much more. Fiddle leaf fig my fav.

My mom is 93 so this year we did the container plating. So she has tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers and collard green! They are doing well! She has had a garden since I was a child and I am now 59. It is very rewarding to share this with kids and show them how they can have veggies of their own to grow! We also use the dried out seeds that we dry out out and place on medicine bottles and label for next years planting.

I do all my gardening in containers. Over 50 plants right now, every size from 8 inch pot to 25 gallon planters.

I love to put a Foxglove as a centerpiece. I have lots coming up in my garden and can pot them

My 100 roses all are in the the pots and come back every year for me.

Yes I have aloe vera, mother-in-law tongue, case iron plant, spider plant, and some Ivy. I love plants. A lot of my plants froze in the freeze in February. So I have to start over.

Lots! Rhubarb, veggies, flowers, herbs, houseplants 💜

I ❤ your visions. I want to do them all. They will make GREAT gifts on a budget.

Love the video! I have green beans successfully growing upside down in a hanging pot.

Love your decorative white planter pot

Currently growing heirloom pear and super steak tomatoes, asparagus, sunflowers, lettuce, celery, green onions, as well as some lillies, elephant ears, and various other house plants. They are all on the patio for now but come indoors before cold weather. Thanks for the video.

I am growing supertunias.No deading heading.Water and fertilize. Happy gardening. MK

I use galvanized wash tubs to plant my veg gardens. Make sure to drill drainage holes in the bottom.

Oh and lavender! I would love to grow some of that!

Sage, Rosemary abd luckily flat leaf parsley made it through the Winter here in zone 7.😊

Use smashed plastic water bottles in the bottom of planter for drainage & reducing the amount of dirt needed in large .planters.

Things I have in pots now include (in addition to houseplants) potatoes, tomatoes, lettuce, peppers, garlic, green onions. Probably some other things. Also flowers: petunias, snapdragons, violets, alyssum. Most of my stuff is in the ground but it's nice to have a few things in containers.

I just bought plants at Lowe's today. Beautiful Persian shield, coleus, marigolds, and geraniums.

Hey there, we grow strawberries, blueberries, thornless raspberries, have fig trees, cherry trees, a fruit cocktail tree as well as a vegetable garden. We also have tons of beautiful lavender, lupine, garden pinks, merrigolds, snap dragons, sunflowers, hanging baskets, some blue grass, a beautiful Tropicana, a couple of hydrangeas, rose bushes, a huge honeysuckle and more. I also have my houseplants that are taking over my kitchen lol.

Yes, I have a lot of plants, I have a giant angelwing bagonia a giant ponytail fern ,. Several orchids, several snake plants, etc. . I like growing things.

I love all ur days planter, my favorite is the laundry basket and hanger bag. I'm going to try that's.

I currently have a garden with tomatoes, peppers, squash, and cucumbers. In pots I have herbs, peppers, and a cherry tomatoe plant. I have Begonias, pansies, and Cockscone.

I have 3 peace lily plants in my house. I got one when my brother died last year and 2 more when my sister was murdered 2 months ago. I’m trying to keep them alive. It’s the first live plant I’ve had since I was little. Never really had a green thumb, but these mean more to me so I’m doing my best!!

Everything for real for me I have from corn to asparagus cauliflower a salad, tea, husband, blueberries, strawberries. I love it.

I bought the Wildflower blend, sunny mix, from the Dollar Tree, and put them in 2 separate pots, thet are all growing! Im excited to see what comes up!

Great use of a basket and laundry bag

I love your channel! I am growing a plant called Voo Doo ,Iilly.. I'm growing alot of things from seed. i love Dollar Tree things.Thank you so much for sharing.

You are so pleasant to listening to

I stacked six of the trio planters outside. I took a 12 pack of the 36 in. Skewers and pushed through holes I drilled into planters to stabilize. One in the center. The reminder I pushed into the ground outside the planters. The skewers are quite thin, so i was able to squeeze the plastic containers from bedding plants into the space where the skewers were. The remaining areas can accommodate containers a bit wider. Great idea to fit a lot in small gardens. In your lanai, I would fix the bottom to a plant dolly so you can turn it to get even sunlight. If you are worried about drying out try adding plain clay cat litter to the mix for a bit of water retention. I had some leftover vermiculite to mine. TFS

I have a lot of live plants...love Month of May when most come back to life and I get to add new

I just started the video.Wow, what a great idea to make those large pots!!

The tall plants turned out so pretty.

Yes I have a star cactus that my Aunt gave 7 years ago. I have not killed it. I do put it inside for winter.

I have small lemon and orange plants an avocado plant growing in my living room by the window and a couple of other plants.

Yesterday I went to all dollar tree stores possible here where I live and I couldn’t find anything for the gardens no pots no yard decors nothing,,🤷🏼‍♀️,,,but thank you for sharing 🙋‍♀️👍🏻🙏🏻

I have many plants in pots that I keep in the house, I also currently have bell peppers-red, green, yellow and orange inside in large pots. When they get a bit bigger and the weather gets a bit more stable I will move them outside but still keep them in the pots. We have a lot of voles that love to eat our produce. So we have planted tomatoes and potatoes in pots as well. So keep on trying. It is really nice to be able to bring your planters inside in the fall to prolong the season a bit.

The planter that you painted white and added the bling looks great! It will shimmer nicely in the sun. You have a lot of good tips. Thank you.

fantastic ideas, loved the laundry basket and bag.

Most of my rear garden is containers apart from the larger well established shrubs & trees - perennials mainly so we get back year on year. Hostas, Astilbes and ferns in the shade. Lavender, alpines for sunny/hot spots. Inbetweeners are roses and lupins. Lots of climbers, in particular clematis (they like their feet cold but apart from that they like part sun/shade) I have a few small Acers/Japanese maples too! Great content 🌟

I have countless pots and planters outdoors. Little by little I got rid of the lawn out in front, then most of the "flower beds" when I realized it's easier to maintain things in containers, plus easier to control weeds. In the front of my house where I get full sun I do have jade plant in the ground as a hedge across the front, and on one side a mock orange and jasmine. I also have pink jasmine over an arbor at the front (where there's a sidewalk) and a couple of roses in front of the porch wall. That still leaves plenty of room and I have all kinds of succulents, Euryops (yellow daily-like blooms), rosemary, lavender, Indian Hawthorne and other things. On the long part of the porch I switch out herbs, tomatoes, lettuce, etc.

I have roses, lilacs, hydrangeas, tomatoes, blueberries, grapes, blackberries, raspberries, mint, sage, oregano, basil, chives, thyme, parsley, garlic, asparagus and potatoes all in pots. All doing great.

I recently planted Budda Bamboo, Jasmine, adding water plants .to go Tropical Garden..Elephant Ears..LOVE YOUR PLANTER IDEAS❣THANKS for SHARING..You r Doing a Lovely Inspirational Hobby of Sweet Enjoyment ❣❣🌿⚘🌿⚘

So far there isn’t much we don’t have planted. We have all the flowers and such, rose bushes, azaleas, plus pots all around with annual and perineals. I have cucumbers, squash, zucchini, peppers, carrots, blueberries all planted and growing really well. A truck to start my seeds is I keep the containers that swiffer wet cloths come in and the containers that spring mix lettuce comes in and I use them for seed starting. They are the absolute best greenhouses I have found.

I have a air plane plant I have had for about 12 years. And Christmas cactuses, hydrangeas, wandering jew.

I am constantly planting sedums such as Hens & Chicks, then repotting little starts to give to my friends. They are definitely the easiest plants that keep on giving 🥰

Thanks so much for all your great ideas on planters! They are so creative! I have lots of indoor plants about 20 plants inside some are cuttings from ladies in Bible study group. I also have raised beds and I’m growing tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers. Happy gardening!

I have a dozen African Violets indoors. I also have a large pony tail plant and philodendron. I have herds of deer in my back property so it’s difficult to keep vegetables or flowers. I have a large vinca garden that the deer leave alone. It’s nice that you can grow plants on your deck. Everything looks so colorful

What awesome ideas, even 10 months later. I've killed all my container plants but I do have a peach tree that's been hanging in there for the last 5 years. It hasn't grown any taller in 5 years (it's only about 2' tall) but it has gotten fuller. And at least it isn't dead. 😂

You have the sweetest spirit !

Red Robin and Micro Tom tomatoes! They are micro.. no more that 12" high! 👍 Thanks for making the video, God Bless.

I bought that spiller plant this year.. I couldn't believe how fast it grows. I bought 2 tiny plants from lowes. They were only about 2 inches wide and long. But I noticed they were trying to root out on the tiny shoots so I took those and cut off 1 piece that had roots on it and turned 2 tiny plants into 4 very tiny plants But it's only been 2 weeks and they all have excellent root systems on them and the longers is at least 8 inches long and as wide as my hand with fingers spread. But I did buy a different kind of potting soil this year. Its called " BACTO ". .. Everything I have planted in that potting soil has blown my mind.. It is pricey at 15.oo a bag but it is worth every dime.

I SOOOO LOOOOVE THESE I COULD CRY!!!THANK YOU SOOOOO VERY MUCH GOING HOME TO PREPARE AND TRANSFORM SOME OF THESE IN A FLOWER POTS!!!! I CANT THANK YOU ENOUGH QUEEEEEN!!!!!!BLESSINGS 💖💝💞

Excellent ideas! Thanks for sharing.

Great video. I really like the laundry basket/laundry bag idea. I live in San Diego so everything grows here. Right now I’ve got about a dozen avocado pits growing in pots. The one that might work for you is a fig tree though. You can keep it trimmed to a manageable size and get fruit that is great for making jam. In your area you will need to move it into a garage or basement during the winter but still fun to grow. Thanks so much for sharing!

These projects were amazing I over them all thank you for sharing

Great pot ideas. I have several potted plants. Mother's tongue, succulents ferns and others. Love plants.

Pansies are what I plant in my containers outside during the winter they even live through the snow.

I have a clearanced coneflower that I originally planted in the ground last fall in a container. I put it in there because it wasn’t doing well after the winter and am nursing it back to health. It seemed like it was dying in the ground. It was only a temporary rescue but it is loving the pot and I will return it to the ground after it is stronger. Next year I am going to have several flower planters on my deck. I plan to plant my cannas in them. Last year I grew all my Bell peppers in planters and got a really nice harvest.

We have a small patio. We have many potted plants. All different kinds. We have tried veggies. Not a lot of luck between animal attacks or not enough ☀️. Still loving the flowers and plants. ❤️

YES! I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO USED STYROFOAM. WORKS GREAT! even in the ground

I have hostas planted in big containers on my shady patio. They come back every year and just need a little watering. Lots of varieties and some cute plant picks or sidewalk lights stuck in are really nice.

That laundry basket pot is genius! Big pots are so expensive! I have a 6ft x 12ft balcony that I have kale , broccoli, spinach, cabbage, onions, carrots, all spices you can think of, tomatoes, lettuce, 10 different peppers, cucumbers, beans, peas and lettuce! Also a couple varieties of flowers 🌸 it’s crowded but beautiful 🤩

They came out beautiful

My husband has an aloe plant in a pot, and we’ve got a small garden started (just tilled ground beside our house.) I absolutely LOVE plants...but I do not have a green thumb. The only thing I’ve been able to keep alive is a 2.5 yr old Christmas cactus 😂

I have a Christmas Cactus, that I just love, especially when I do not have a green thumb…

Rattlesnake Pole Beans,Bush Beans, tons of different peppers, Zucchini, Purple Hull Peas and Potatoes all in containers.

I have a large number of indoor plants all around a south window-doors and I really like the snake plants, aka mother-in-law tongue. They are easy to start on your own and propagate. I just put 3 leaves in water until they grew roots and transplanted them into a vase and then a larger planter because they grow so fast! They are really fun because they get so tall; mine are about 5 ft. tall!
