Container Gardening

Container gardening is a fun way to get in touch with nature. There are endless possibilities for plant arrangements and creative ideas that can beautify your garden. Here are some container gardening ideas that you might like:

• An elegant way to arrange your herbs is by positioning young lemongrass in the center of your pot, adding flowering plumbago around, and filling the outermost edges with basil and rosemary.
• An excellent hanging pot arrangement would be to place pink zinnias and yellow tuberous begonias as the focus, then add round zinnias and open petals of the begonias; consider some blue cape plumbago and golden lantana, and topping it off with english ivy cascading over the sides of the pot.
• You can fill a rustic freestanding container with a mix of lantanas and impatiens, arranged with Joseph’s coat, green coleus, and yellow creeping jenny to highlight your back porch.

Instead of buying fruits at the grocery, why not grow some in your balcony or patio? Growing your own fruits is easy to do, and they provide a lot of benefits – they offer higher nutritional value, you get to control when to harvest, and it encourages you to eat more fruits.

Here are some of the best fruits to grow in pots:

• Strawberries are one of the best and easiest fruits to grow in your container garden. They don’t need to be in large pots; so, they may grow in a small pot on your balcony.
• Bush cherry cultivars are great for pots. Cherries only need a little water but may die from drought, so you have to be careful.
• Watermelons can be grown in pots with the help of a good support system and well-drained potting soil.
