✅✅Growing vegetables in containers is a great way to enjoy fresh produce, even if space is limited. Here are some of the best vegetables to grow in containers:
Tomatoes: ✅✅Varieties: Cherry or bush types (e.g., 'Patio Princess' or 'Tiny Tim') do well in containers. Container size: 5-gallon pot or larger.
Tips**: Stake or cage for support and provide plenty of sunlight and regular watering.
Peppers: ✅✅Varieties: Both sweet and hot peppers thrive in containers. Container size: 3 to 5-gallon pots. Tips**: Full sun and well-draining soil are key.
Lettuce: ✅✅Varieties: Leaf lettuce like 'Black-Seeded Simpson' or 'Salad Bowl' are ideal. Container size: Shallow containers (6-8 inches deep). Tips: Grows quickly and prefers cooler weather, so partial shade can help.
Spinach: ✅✅Varieties: Most types work well, but 'Baby Leaf' is particularly suited to containers. Container size: 6 inches deep or more. Tips**: Grow in cooler weather with regular watering.
Radishes: ✅✅Varieties: Quick-growing varieties like 'Cherry Belle' are perfect. Container size: Shallow pots (6 inches deep). Tips**: Ideal for small spaces and quick harvests in cooler weather.
Carrots: ✅✅Varieties: Choose short or round varieties like 'Thumbelina' or 'Nantes'. Container size: 12 inches deep or more. Tips**: Ensure loose soil for root growth and keep soil consistently moist.
Cucumbers: ✅✅Varieties: Bush or dwarf varieties (e.g., 'Spacemaster'). Container size: 5-gallon pots. Tips**: Provide support for vining types and ensure full sun.
Green Beans: ✅✅Varieties: Bush beans (e.g., 'Bush Blue Lake' or 'Contender') are best for containers. Container size: 12 inches deep or more. Tips**: They don’t require much space and can produce a large harvest in a small area.
Eggplants: ✅✅Varieties: Compact varieties like 'Patio Baby' do well in containers. Container size: 5-gallon pots or larger. Tips**: Needs full sun and regular watering.
Herbs (Bonus) ✅✅Varieties: Basil, parsley, cilantro, thyme, and rosemary thrive in containers.
✅✅Container size: Small pots (6-8 inches deep). Tips**: Grow in a sunny spot and harvest regularly to encourage new growth.
✅✅General Tips: Soil**: Use a high-quality potting mix, not garden soil, for proper drainage.
✅✅Watering: Containers dry out faster, so water regularly and ensure proper drainage.
✅✅Sunlight: Most vegetables need 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day.
✅✅Ertilizing: Since nutrients can wash out of containers, use a balanced fertilizer to support growth.

I started with some perennials in my backyard that my mom and aunt gifted me and a couple of potted herbs and house plants. A lot of the early ones died! I still kill off houseplants occasionally, especially when the seasonal depression hits. I did what I could when I felt well enough.
Now that I'm physically healthier and more experienced, I'm putting in proper raised beds and trying more vegetable and herb gardening. You don't have to start with a big old project. You can just get a pot of basil or mint to brighten up your dinners and cocktails. Plants bring a lot of color and cheer both indoors and outside. And if they die, you can always try again. I absolutely recommend it!
Encouraging home-grown food is a fine thing, but I think a lot of posts on the subject are shooting themselves in the foot by making frankly optimistic assumptions about what reasonably constitutes a basic starter project. If you really want to get folks on board with home growing, your best bet is probably going to be looking up which culinary herbs can feasibly be cultivated as indoor houseplants; sure, a pot of thyme on the windowsill isn't going to make a meaningful difference to anybody's weekly grocery budget, but if we're being honest with ourselves, for most folks that fancy balcony garden isn't going to do that either, and at least the potted thyme is attainable!

I got so much garden stuff done today! Went up to my parents' house and helped my mom build a compost bin. Then my parents came back down to mine to help me build a compost bin and assemble my new garden bed. I feel so accomplished!

Things are starting to happen in the garden
Seedlings! Tulips! Buds bursting!
The fruit bushes I planted over winter are showing signs of life!
I planted these peas outside last week. It's too early, but they were desperate to LIVE and to CLIMB. I could not give them the life they wanted indoors. It snowed pretty much immediately, and was frosty for several days. And yet, the peas remain unbothered and flourishing.
I had a 100% germination rate with these guys too. The variety is Lord Leicester if anybody is interested.
I've stacked up a load of old twigs and prunings which were lying around to make a bit of a habitat wall area. I'm hoping this will one day give frogs a safe passage to the pond. In the shorter term, I'm wondering if any climbing plants might like to use it as a support. Does anybody have experience with this?
This is the inside of the compost bin. I just like to look at it :)
