Planning the Fall container garden

Container Garden!

It’s July, and that means it’s time to start planning the fall garden! If you’re like me, you have just a bit of patio space to make a perfect container gardening spot. I used to think that not having much land would inhibit my ability to grow many plants or veggies, but I’ve found that if you have a small space that gets enough sun, you can get creative and grow just about anything in a container that grows well in the ground.

As I start planning my fall container garden, I thought I would share a few of my favorite container gardening articles and sites with you.

Life on the Balcony – Fern writes about container gardening and gives lots of tips for those gardening in small spaces.

The You Grow Girl Container Gardening Forums – There are always some really great ideas here. Whether you have questions about your current garden or want some inspiration for the new season, this is the place to hang out.

Container Vegetable Gardening in NC – If you’re thinking about trying veggies this fall and you live in NC, this article is a tremendous help. It even includes a chart for what types of containers you should use for specific plants.

Successful Container Gardening – If you’re new to container gardening, read over this booklet from the NC Cooperative Extension. It gives a good overview of what you should know and will help you feel more prepared when you give container gardening a try.

I hope you find these resources as valuable as I do!
