so, I've started cleaning off my patio and whatnot, and taking stock of what I have and don't have available to start my garden again. My goal this time is more veggies/fruits/herbs than flowers, as most of my flowers kinda fizzled. My gardenia plant is still going strong, but I've yet to see it bloom
Anyways, I've been researching on the internet, trying to figure out what'll grow and what won't in a container garden, since I do live in an apartment. Right now, I've got 2 tomato plants, 2 strawberry plants and a zucchini plant going. I'm looking at getting eggplant and maybe a cucumber. I'm still debating whether I could manage lettuce in a single pot.
I guess I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions? I found working out there to be very therapeutic, and can hardly wait for my plants to grow big enough to yield tasty foodses. but I don't know what else to plant. At least one of my long rectangle containers is going to be a small herb bed, but that's about as far as I've gotten. So, ideas? Anyone? It's a limited amount of space, yes, but I've got several free containers that need green things to fill them.
And as an aside, what's the opinion on those upside down tomato/pepper growing thingies? They look intriguing, and if they work, I might throw a batch of bell peppers in one, but I'd like to know it's worth it before I purchase it.
