Vegetable container garden - what's everyone's best advice?
by
Suzy Armus
I have a small porch area where I want to grow vegetables in containers... I have seedlings growing of plants requiring different depths and have ordered a standing table/container for shallow plants like lettuce and herbs... there's plenty of sun!

I have a home daycare , my kids have planted tomatoes and pepper plants in 3 gallon buckets . I use liquid fertilizer and the plants are growing great ! We planted deep then added soil as the plant grew.

I have all of my tomatoes in 5 gallon buckets and containers. They are doing very well, but my plan is to put them out front with 6 hrs of sun as soon as the nights warm up. I did this last year and had a great success, except it was hard to get to my front door. Right now I cover some of them with a blanket cover during the night, and the others go back into my greenhouse. I use a great fertilizer once a week called "Tiger Bloom", and I swear by it for all my plants.
