Actually, this is my first garden in this house, and my backyard plot got totally destroyed by animals, but my containers are doing awesome. I'm growing kale, basil, tomatoes, lettuce and peppers! It's so much easier than a regular garden because you can control the soil, put your plants somewhere deer and rabbits can't get to them and move them around to make sure they're getting enough/not too much sunlight.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04510986008238276269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408906677306311135.post-38305120639656050312011-07-07T19:41:05.150-05:002011-07-07T19:41:05.150-05:00I love reading everyone else's experiences/tho...I love reading everyone else's experiences/thoughts on this topic! There is definitely something about having a garden that I never quite got until I actually had one. And thanks for the transplanting/roots tip!

It didn't turn out that well. I think they really needed more light, and unfortunately, we lack any private outdoor space (no balcony or terrace). Just sitting by the window didn't work. I'm definitely going to try again whenever we move into a space with a patio or yard (probably won't be for a couple more years though). Your plants look great though!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00263044857099967566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408906677306311135.post-76947308362124239762011-07-07T14:10:08.958-05:002011-07-07T14:10:08.958-05:00I've never had a container garden but I used t...I've never had a container garden but I used to have a real one and I know - there is nothing more rewarding than picking what you've planted...Kanelstrandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00656658673748250383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408906677306311135.post-61120836898112123422011-07-07T11:44:49.670-05:002011-07-07T11:44:49.670-05:00That is so exciting!

I had sort of a similar experience recently with a spur-of-the-moment purchase of a $2 mint plant at a flower festival here in town. I love that little plant! I don't have any outdoor space in my current apartment but once I move, I would LOVE to get into container planting or small gardens. I get so excited from Minty (my mint plant), I can't even imagine how excited I'll be when I grow a pepper or something!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408906677306311135.post-80789501888583970132011-07-07T11:35:37.330-05:002011-07-07T11:35:37.330-05:00ha! just call me black thumb. i kill nearly everyt...ha! just call me black thumb. i kill nearly everything.Teddihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13967940035596403932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408906677306311135.post-66021610090884715052011-07-07T11:20:06.790-05:002011-07-07T11:20:06.790-05:00I agree, small space gardening is essential, espec...I agree, small space gardening is essential, especially for apartment dwellers who want fresh food.

We just recently built a raised bed in the yard and I sent off a soil sample to get tested yesterday. Once we know what kind of amendments we need for the soil, we'll be able to start filling the bed and transferring all of the containers over.

The best tip I can give it so say remember to transplant!! in containers the roots are limited and can become bound quickly. if you invest in all size pots, you will be able to keep your herbs growing and thriving deep into the fall.<br /><br />here is what ours looked like last spring<br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/brezomayo/4646015129/in/photostreamJ.Crabbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07188400399317102528noreply@blogger.com
