If you’ve ever felt like you don’t have enough space to grow your own food, this is your reminder that container gardening can completely change the game. You don’t need a big backyard to be successful—you can grow a surprising amount of food right where you are. Whether you’re working with a patio, balcony, or a small corner, it’s absolutely possible to start growing tons of food in a small space with the right approach.
This is all about making the most of what you have and learning how to grow smarter, not harder. Container gardening isn’t just convenient—it can be incredibly productive when done right. If you’ve been wanting to start growing tons of food in a small space but didn’t know how, this is your sign that it’s more than possible.

Did you know you can grow Loofah? You can eat them in their tender growth; peal them after the Loofah is huge and brown. You can use them to cleanse anything besides your our own body.
Thank you for the information it helps a lot
The recons on our farm dig up everything that I put the fish stuff on😢
Great video 😅
I love your gardening skills but What is your skin routine sis ❤
Wonderful video thank you for the great tips. im currently looking for something to put my vegetables and fruits in. im so happy I came across your video 🌿🌱☺️
Love the video, you crack me up. Very informative as well.
Do you have a link for the new trellis you bought?
I noticed on your channel you say that you are in zone 8 but you never say what area in zone 8 there are a lot of zone eights in different states. If you look at other gardening channels they always specify for example they state the zone there in in the state that they're in for example Asia says that she is in Virginia someone else says they're in Ohio someone else says that they're in Texas this would help a lot Thank you
Love your enthusiasm! Vertical growing is the BEST.✔️
My favorite cherry tomatoe is sweet 100
Oh love your video!!! First time watching you….I live in KY and I grow a lot in containers and its great! Anyone can grow at least a little food with some time and work!! Look forward to more videos..
This was great information. *New Subscription as of this video. I am a container grower. I choose containers because I am a handicapped gardener. Potato harvest is easier… I have my landscapers put in my tomatoes and peppers within my front yard landscape because they do better for me in ground. I just fertilize and harvest. Thank you for sharing.
Lots of cheap options for trellis!! One of the best is the old mattress frame from a baby crib…Can usually find these cheap or free if someone is tossing a crib..
Do you have any pets that tries to get in the container?
lol 🤣 that was me…. but not this year
Hey Queen. I subbed to your channel to learn how to grow in containers. Thank you so much for this video and information. I’m in zone 8b.
Never considered the size of the pot. Thanks Queen
Very imformative….I learned alot!! Thank you.
So glad I found your channel!! Thank you for being you!! <3
Also if you have a dehydrator it comes in handy…I love to make tomato powder you use all your tomatoes…if you need tomato paste it comes in handy you can make your own…its great in soups , tomato paste , tomato sauce and tomato juice …and you can make great kale chips …..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oTru-fug3A&t=4s
You've inspired me to grow differently! Love your content. (Poly Vinyl Chloride)
PVC pipe. Great garden. Great tips
YOU ARE A DELIGHT!!! Love your personality and all your gardening tips! and Yes, I was one of the ones that was So excited about growing something myself that I just wanted to admire it & didn't harvest my plants as often as I should have. 🤦♀️😆 But Not this year, I'm going to do it right! Thanks again. I've saved all your Tips in my phone so I don't forget..and you have a New Subscriber!! ❤
Hey sis, happy to find you page. I subscribed. Just starting off my gardening journey… on my balcony ☺️ will definitely be documenting my journey on my channel. I’m so excited to see my first harvest. ❤
This helped me understand why my container plants didnt do well, i used good soil but didnt continue to feed soil . It never dawned on me my plants were starving
PVC pipe❤
❤ Super Sweet 100 😊
Yard long beans 🫘 it's very tasty, in guyana 🇬🇾 we cook it as a stew, we call it bora stew 😋
Thank you for this!! You're so fun to watch!
My squash and watermelon grew in 10 gallon buckets and they grew and grew. Great harvest and the melons. Omg. I made sure i placed trellises this season. I have already planted from seed again but last summer they took off overnight and kept going. Shared with neighbors and family
Thank you so much for your information. I just retired in September, and I have been enjoying growing a few things. I live in Las Vegas, NV, and the heat isn't much help. Thank you, thank you. thank you!
You have learned so so much in one year. Your video is great for those just starting out & those with little space. One of the best videos I've seen explaining potting size & vertical growing. Terrific job. Please keep up the great work & keep us posted on your crop yields.
I’m growing lettuce ( two in the ground and in a small space) and 1 in a pot ( sheltered).How do you cope with the rain when it comes , where I’m living it has been raining . Will they survive the downpours . I don’t see a shelter over your pots 🌧️🪴
Is it possible for you to use a cattle panel snipped to fit the container, bending it from the container to the ground directly across from the long bean container? This will add support for the plant? This will give it more room to grow and will act as a tunnel to shade the plant.
This video…so helpful and clear. I plan to follow your lead. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience.
look at the good will you can get the containers you pay $18 for around $4 or $5 sometimes less

Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Buy some more trellises and line your concrete patio with some of them. Then back up some of your containers to them to grow your climbing varieties. My 15 x 15 fenced in raised bed area is fenced with wire fence. I will be growing pole beans on it. Also look at the stackable dollar tree containers. Good for smaller plants. Chives, parsley and lettuces.
I started some Yukon Gold potatoes in a 20 gallon grow bag in February. They’re looking tall and healthy and are starting to produce tiny flowers, which I think is a good sign. I’m hopeful that I will get several potatoes from this bag. I love container gardening, but also have some tomato plants and onions in ground.
Keep up the good work 😍
Thank you 💚
Blessing Goddess great content
💯🌈🙏👌🖖✌️✊️👍🫡😇😁🔥🌈🦅🦉
Brilliant advice. I use bamboo sticks with twine tied at the top for teepee trellises. Additionally containers are excellent for potatoes and sweet potatoes…makes harvesting super easy.
Did you make holes in the bottom of the containers for drainage?
