Most container gardens were planted by people that lived inapartments but still wanted the addition of color and thefeeling of accomplishment when seeing their plants grow. Big,beautiful showy flowers have a tranquil effect that soothes youat the end of a long day. Container gardening need not belimited to apartment gardening, everyone should have their own.Most certainly you don't have to stick to flowers in containers.You can grow vegetables and herbs in pots.

Your container can become a mini garden. For example when welived in Pennsylvania our front yard screened us from the roadwith 10 feet tall evergreens. Although it was good for privacy,it made it very hard for guests to find our house. To fix thisproblem I purchased a half of a whisky barrel painted our nameand street number on it and placed on the lawn at the end of thedriveway. Then I filled it with some organic matter, plantedbright red geraniums in the center and placed trailing ivy alongthe outer edges. Not only did it help our friends find us butthe whole neighborhood used it when giving directions to theirfriends and family. Everyone would come up to us and say, "Nevermove that pot of

Don't limit yourself to a barrel, anything can be used, awatering can, an urn or big boldly colored ceramic pots, even awheelbarrow. Use your imagination when it comes to thecontainers you will plant. A friend of mine would go to theItalian restaurants around town and ask them for their usedlarge olive oil cans. She'd take them home and plant a bunch ofmini gardens. This created an interesting and colorful spotunlike any in the neighborhood. She would plant herbs in some ofthem so this little garden had two uses. For container gardening use a fast draining potting soil mixedwith a little coarse sand. I always use pots with holes in thebottom to ensure good drainage. You may know exactly how much towater the plant but if you have a rainy spell it could be thedemise of the mini garden that has no drainage system. Fertilizewell and often, nutrients in a container can leech out. Repotting will be necessary as the plants will become root boundas they thrive. Just go to the next size container and plant anew flower or herb in the original pot. Go to your garden nursery center and look thru the selections.Choose plants that will harmonize and colors that go welltogether.
