Vegetable Gardening

Each year, we grow a variety of veggies and herbs in a potted garden. We do pots, since the sun can be intense in this Texas heat, and I can move the plants around if they're scorching.  Last year, our garden did very well, although keeping plants in pots means watering more frequently.  The trade-off in increased maintenance is worth it to me, for the fresh veggie taste. 

Tips for planting in pots - water often!!!  Use the Moisture Control Miracle Gro soil to help keep plants moist.  Use mulch if needed to keep mousture in. 

These photos are from last year.

Here is one of the pepper plants

And our tomato plants

We had so many tomatoes we couldn't eat them all.  This year, we have tomatoes, cucumbers, and basil.  No peppers, since I still haven't used the ones I dried last year.  Here's hoping our garden does just as well!
