Small Garden Ideas
Little garden space, big idea
If you no longer wish to plant a big garden you may want to
consider a small garden on your deck or patio. The cost of fresh tomatoes and
peppers is skyrocketing with no end in sight! Window box or container gardens
are a great small garden idea, especially when trying to
cook healthier. Your small space container garden can be as large or as small
as you wish. You can have one pot for cherry tomatoes, one for beefsteak
tomatoes, one for green peppers and one for kitchen herbs.
Why not start out with a 5 gallon container and plant one of
your favorite tomato varieties. A standard tomato cage fits the pot perfectly. If
you are unsure a container veggie garden is for you, start with a small
container or two of herbs. Small containers can grow multitudes of herbs or
vegetables when either garden space or physical limitation is an issue.
With a little planning you can have your favorite berries,
fresh tomatoes or peppers all summer long. It is possible and relatively easy to
grow your favorite vegetables without having the burden of tending to an
outdoor vegetable garden. If you have enough space for an enclosure, depending
on where you live, you may be able to keep herbs & veggies year round!
