#Small Space Gardening

[gardeningloverfamily]

✅✅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.

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 :)

Thought I'd share a pic of how my balcony garden is doing

The stand has a few plants that I don't know what they are bc they were just given to me, although top left is jasmine! There's also grape hyacinth, snapdragon, and daffodils in the hanging planter. Some violets and I think pansies down in the lower left, too.

I'm most excited about the big pots! A dwarf sweetheart cherry tree with a fuschia vine starter, then a blackberry and strawberry plant sharing a pot with some marigolds, and lastly a blueberry bush with a salvia and marigold for friendship.

I'm SO hyped to have all these berries. Not sure if they will fruit this summer (the tree def won't she's too new) but I'm pleased that they're all getting bigger and flourishing.

Also my lil cherry tree gave me a handful of flowers. I've been SO happy watching it grow. Here's a before pic from when I first brought it home:

And today:

And the flowers:

Sorry y'all I'm a plant nerd now so I might just have to do an excited yell abt them from time to time!
