gardening YouTube is so wholesome, I have found my people

Thank you. We live in the desert of western and dry. 62 years ago, my mother in law gave me a cutting of her favorite mint plant....we lived in New England at the time. I had it there and then moved it when we moved west. It is flourishing in a large container where it only gets about 2-3 hours or sun per day. It is wonderful for mint tea and makes a wonderful mint jelly....

Repeatedly saying "in a container" wasn't very specific. A suggested size range for each would have been helpful. Thank you for the list.

I grew two varieties of eggplant in Dollar Tree mop buckets in cow manure and compost last year.

I started my garden in containers and grow bags. I live in zone 9b SW Florida, but in 2023, I decided to grow my vegetable garden in raised beds. It's been a game changer for me. It's been a lot less work, less time watering, less time amending the soil. I can do more companion planting. I had little to no bugs last year. Overall, I thought I liked container gardening, but I love raised bed square foot companion gardening better.

Believe it or not I am growing corn in a 20 lbs grow bag. I put about six plants in each bag. So far the corn is three feet tall. Dark green and lots of broad leaves. I can’t wait until harvest. I want to see if I was successful.

Hello from Schulenburg, Texas 😊
Mrs. Angela today January.29, 2022 is my first time watching you and I loved all your ideas ❤

This is perfect! My husband and I are renters and we also live in the desert where the ground is hard as a rock so it's nice to have an alternative means to garden. Also, your cauliflower is beautiful!

[gardenhighlightsworm]

I enjoyed this video because I have a balcony garden so everything I grow is in containers. Like you said you can control those evasive plants so much easier in containers.
