The 5 Easiest (and Yummiest!) Fruits to Grow in a Container Garden

If you've got limited space but are determined to get your garden growing in containers, you don't have to give up delicious fruits! Gardening often brings to mind a bounty of fresh vegetables, beans, corn...as many fruits are tree-borne, taking years before the first fruits are ripe for eating. But you can grow fruits in containers, too! Take a look at some of these delicious eats:Strawberry: Who doesn't love a ripe, juicy strawberry? They're not just incredibly delicious (and nutritious)-they're pretty darn easy to grow in containers, too. They'll do well in hanging baskets as well as grounded container garden planter. Give them lots of great sun and enjoy the delicious flavors.Blueberries: Another berry that does well in containers is the blueberry. Give them a good, acidic soil (and a few years-it can take about 3 to produce berries) and they'll thrive, giving you a gorgeous plant year round with fragrant flowers in spring and bright, fiery foliage in the fall.Figs: One of the most incredible tasting fruits on earth, the mighty fig actually likes the constriction of a container. They like the heat and sun-and if growing from seed it will take a while before they fruit, but quite worth the wait!For more, visit http://urbanfig.com/the-5-easiest-and-yummiest-fruits-to-grow-in-a-container-garden/
Figs are delicious and nutritious - they're a taste of gourmet in the garden.
Strawberries are a treat when they're growing right outside the patio window. Easier to grow that you think!
Nothing compares to homegrown organic heirloom tomatoes.

    If you have a cat and buy litter in those big buckets, clean them out after empting and fill with potting soil. The are large enough for lots of different fruits and vegetables. Don't forget to drill holes in the bottom for drainage. I roughed the outside of mine with steel wool and painted them to cover the kitty littler logo's.
