Container Gardens are a Perfect Choice for Small Space Vegetable Gardening

container Vegetable Garden

Container garden ideas are ever increasing in popularity with beginners and seasoned gardeners alike. For people with limited vegetables gardening area or just lack the time for planting a large plot of land, container gardens are a great choice.

Container Garden Plans and Design Ideas

Planting a container herb garden is a good beginning point for those starting out. Add beauty to your vegetables gardening by choosing decorative cabbages and Brussels spouts. Attractive options for a container vegetable garden are brightly colored yellow, gold, and zebra striped tomatoes.

Designing a Container Garden

container Vegetable Garden

There are limitless interesting containers from the huge tire planters to classic Italian or Spanish clay pots. Convert a rooftop or vacant side-yard into an orderly and productive container vegetable garden. Take full advantage narrow spaces by vertical gardening, using hanging planters, terraces, trellis, and archways.

Follow these Steps to Find Healthy Vegetable Transplants

container Vegetable Garden

  • Plants with green lush complete foliage, strong stems, and good root systems will establish quickly. Steer clear of transplants with yellow, brown, purplish, or white colored leaves.

  • Ready to transplant seedlings have two to three true leaves above their seed leaves.

  • For all container sizes except the largest containers, plants should not have flower buds, immature fruit, or other signs of maturity.

  • Select vegetable plants that have not outgrown the original container to avoid choosing root-bound transplants.

  • Signs of disease or insect damage may be identified by conspicuous spots or withering leaves.

  • Strong healthy plants will appear stocky and dense with healthy green foliage.

  • Pass on vegetable container garden plants that appear spindly or weak.

  • Be careful not to transport young seedlings from the nursery in hot automobile interiors or trucks. In minutes, tender transplants can be scorched with temperatures of 140 degrees or higher!

  • Plant Quality Guide for Container Gardens

    container Vegetable Garden

    * Weak spindly foliage is typically caused from inadequate lighting.

    * Wilted leaves are usually a sign of insufficient watering.

    * Purple leaves develop generally due to a lack of phosphorous.

    * Stunted growth ordinarily occurs when the container is not big enough.

    Transplanting into Container Gardens

    container Vegetable Garden

    * Select containers large enough to allow roots to fully develop.

    * Container vegetable garden plants need more consistent care than their outdoor garden neighbors do.

    * Water and fertilizer frequently for best results.

    * Fill the pot with sterile potting soil or loose organic compost.

    * Avoid dense soils because container plants require good drainage.

    * Gently inspect the development and roots of transplant seedling.

    * Loosen the rootball by carefully scoring it several times with fork tines to help roots establish in the new container.

    * Position the plant in the pot and press the soil down until it is well packed.

    * Thoroughly water the transplant.
