I also grow blueberries in Southern California (Los Angeles) in pots. One of them is in a regular pot (maybe 10-15 gallon?). Eight others are in earthboxes or garden patch boxes. All are doing great. I have several varieties that work in my locale. I have them protected from birds inside a "bird cage" that I built from an old e-z up frame and bird block screening. I have about 1/2 of it topped with a shade cloth. Works great. Life is good and fruitful!
I have my strawberries in the old gutters from my house. The only down side is that you really have to be careful to not lose the soil and too keep them watered. I had a tough learning period and almost gave up on the idea. The upsides are that you can net them easily with a simple tee pee system and picking is super easy too.
I don't think Marigold actually repel aphids. In fact my Marigold attracts aphids and died of aphids.
you dont have to keep asking …. its really annoying… we know how to subscribe …
Spenich, SPENICH and more
SPENICH is the very best—-
Great videoim growing organic vegetables in my container gardens I find that they produce way better in containers than the actual garden itself
Put dishes under your pots to prevent water wastage
Thank you
I have been growing spinach in a hanging basket all winter here in Tx
Thanks π
I tried my hand at a potted garden last year…the problem I had was very think skins. What am I doing wrong or what could different? Thank you for an answer and for your channel!
could i grow any of these in a 1 gallon milk jug? and what would be best?
Thank you! I also enjoy cucumbers and theyβve grown well in a raised garden bed/pots in my yard.
This video is incredibly well-made & informative. Thank you, I'm learning so much!
Haha when I like and unlike this video, the viewing goes from 2,7K to 2,8K :0
Can you do something on growing edibles on small balconys and around your flat . I have grown a few veg but love to learn more. Thanks love the videos.
Great job! Those strawberries look very tasty!
I cannot find organic
strawberry seeds anywhere
Nice crops
Potatoes are ideal for containers. They are much less work and easier to harvest.
This year I had so much fun growing cucumbers.
Thank you for inspiring me! I am also growing vegetables. And i also uploading agri related vlogs. Godbless you!
Great advice. I love container gardening. Easier to move out of the bad weather
Khol rabi is another crop I grow in containers, they are delicious and beautiful too, and have very short roots.
My strawberries are looking love but the berries tend to rot on the bottom sometimes. Could it be because they are resting in the soil.
I intend to grow my scotch bonnet pepper in pots next year to make it easy to cover it if the weather is too cool.
Great tip mixing seed in sand to auto thin seedlings.
I have been trying to determine what to grow in pots, to add depth to the garden and extend to patio….. thnks for suggestions! π
Do you think these textile pots will work well https://www.hopikas.com/collections/home-garden/products/gardening-growing-pots
I love chard but every time I've grown it in pots it gets leaf miners. I've had more success with growing kalettes and lettuce. Tomatoes grow really well in grow bags rather than regular compost.
Great Video, Thanks Me and my 4 year old daughter have gone for Strawberries, Blueberries, Radish and Spring onion for an introduction to growing this year and we are also going to try to grow a pumpkin for Halloween too π
Wonderful π. Thank you π
Topinambur or Jerusalem articoke as you call them are great in pots. I grow them the last 6 years in pots and it worked out great. I have the RED ones. Only thing, they have never had flowers. But lots of crop. ππΌββοΈ
Never mind the birds with the strawberries my Dexy (my dog) was nicking them and spitting them out all over the garden. π
Just subscribed. Great, informative video. Thank you!
Lovely quick tips. My chard has gone to seed, can I claw this back or am I too late and itβs now too bitter?
Sweet potatoes for hanging baskets, not for potatoes but for the heart shaped leaves that are nice for salad.
Great thank you ,
I'm going to try these
This is so inspring and cozy.
What about growing in containers indoors?
Is this possible?
We have lots of sunny, south-facing window sills and could double our harvest if it is.
Does anybody do this?
All kinds of peppers.
Great video. I was looking for a video on sowing and planting nasturtiums when I ran across it. Still looking but the break was pleasant.
