Tag : herb garden
Any home with a sunny spot has room for at least one herb orvegetable plant in a container. Bush-type veggies and smaller herbswork best.
Tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, green onions, beans, lettuce, squashand radishes are ideally suited for growing outdoors in pots.Vining veggies will also grow well in pots, but require more space.
The following vegetable varieties are ideally suited formini-gardens in containers. They are easily raised from seed, butstore-bought transplants will give you a head start, and manygarden centers now carry fully planted container gardens.
Tomatoes: Patio, Pixie, Super Bush and Tiny Tim.
Peppers: Pizza My Heart, Yolo Wonder, Red Cherry and Jalapeno, afavorite hot pepper for salsas.
Eggplant: Florida Market, Black Beauty and Long Tom.
Squash: Gold Neck, Early Prolific, Zucco and Diplomat.
Leaf lettuce: Most varieties, including Buttercrunch, GardenBabies, Salad Bowl, Romaine, Dark Green Boston, Ruby and Bib.
Green onions: Beltsville Bunching, Crystal Wax and EvergreenBunching.
Green beans: Topcrop, Greencrop, Blue Lake and Kentucky Wonder.

Renee's herb varieties include Cameo Basil, Fine Leaf Chives, SlowBolt, Cilantro, True Greek Oregano and Gigante Parlsey.
Small and slow-growing herbs are some of the easiest to grow incontainers. Sage, parsley, Greek oregano, rosemary, marjoram,basil, thyme, chives, and summer savory all do especially well.
Container growing is highly recommended for herbs like lavender,which need good drainage and tend to rot in overly wet gardensoils, and for tender herbs that need to be over wintered indoors.An added plus is that containers are easily transported and can bearranged in attractive groupings or moved as environmentalconditions change over the season.
Any container is suitable for growing herbs as long as it has adrainage hole. Adequate drainage is critical.
