    Extractions: All shapes and sizes Container Gardens Everybody can grow flowers and vegetables. Yes, we mean everybody. No matter where you live, no matter how small your space. For people with little space for their favorite plants, container gardening is often the answer. You can grow almost anything in a container garden. Small and compact, you can put a container on your balcony or deck, or in a sunny window. Think two dimensional. A container garden does not have to sit on the patio or deck. Many people hang containers from a ceiling or against a wall. This is called " vertical gardening Imagination is the key to container gardens. First imagine what kind of plants you want to grow. Second, imagine the type of planters or containers. Then, imagine the bountiful harvest of flowers and/or vegetables that you will enjoy because it is certainly within your reach. Selecting the right plants: The right plants are the ones you select to grow. They can be flowers, vegetables or even small bushes. While most people traditionally think of small plants, if you really want to grow a particular plant, give it a try. Very few plants are not suited for container gardens. Corn for example, may make an unsuitable vegetable as it takes numerous plants to properly pollinate the ears. But, most others are just fine. Even vining plants can be used. Some people grow pumpkins and squash in containers from their deck and let the vines hang down the deck or sprawl across the floor. One woman I know just had to grow pumpkins. So, she planted them in an old kiddie pool...on top of her apartment complex in downtown Los Angeles!

    Extractions: Backyard Habitat ... Free $20 off bulbs, perennials, and trees! Container gardening is one aspect of gardening in which every member of the household can contribute. Gardening in containers is easy, fast, fun, and rewarding. Most of us have had our pots of petunias and pansies over the years, but few of us have explored the real extent of possibilities that exist in the realm of container gardening. Gardening in containers can be as easy or as complex as the gardener chooses to make it. It's easy and decorative to place a potted fern on either side of the entryway, and many people are satisfied with just that. But then there are the rest of us. I want bold, colorful, and diverse, and I also want to experiment and be creative. With container gardening, I can have all this and more. If something doesn't work, I can try again, which is much more difficult with in-ground plantings. I can mix and match, and try out different color schemes. And don't forget about using potted plants to fill in bare spaces in the annual and perennial gardens to keep them spectacular all season long. Whether you have an apartment or a house on 20 acres of land, there is some form of container gardening that is perfect for you, be it window boxes, a balcony vegetable garden, or just a corner of the yard packed with blooms that would be hard to maintain in the ground. Don't forget also, that some of the more invasive plants that you normally wouldn't introduce into your yard can be grown with abandon within the confines of a container. Chamomile and Mint are two such plants that come immediately to mind. Maybe even a whole herb garden right outside the door on that bare patio for spicing up treats from the kitchen. The possibilities for combinations in container gardening are only limited by the gardener's imagination. Just about any plant that you can grow in the ground will grow even better in well-kept containers, so never hesitate to try something new.

If this had been an actual spring, you would have been instructed where to go for official information. This concludes this test of the Chicagoland Weather Confusion System. This site (and most gardening sites) say it'll be OK, though. See you in the spring! Posted at 10:42 AM TrackBack (984) Travel and other commitments have put the garden well behind schedule this summer. Worst of all, however, is the immense heat and lack of rain this summer. Things are in a rather sad state, so no pictures to follow. A few notes: I imported a number of plants from Indiana around Memorial Day, but sadly they aren't doing well. I'm not sure if it's the weather or the change of soil, but most are just barely hanging on. This is very sad. Planted a bunch of caladium bulbs in the front yard and also at the back of the Southern Annex (pictured in last entry). Nothing has emerged yet, but we should see plants soon. Until we do, things look a bit barren. The containers are doing beautifully, to my relief.

    Container Vegetable Gardening Revised 12/91 Author Reviewed 3/99 HIL8105 Larry Bass Extension Horticultural Specialist Department of Horticultural Science  
    http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/hort/hil/hil-8105.html
    
    Extractions: North Carolina State University Many people who live in an apartment, condominium, or mobile home do not grow a vegetable garden because space is not available for a garden plot. Lack of yard space is no excuse for not gardening, since many kinds of vegetables can be readily grown in containers. In addition to providing five hours or more of full sun, attention must be given to choosing the proper container, using a good soil mix, planting and spacing requirements, fertilizing, watering, and variety selection. Containers are available in many different sizes, shapes, and materials. All containers, whether clay, wood, plastic, or ceramic, should have an adequate number of holes in the bottom for proper drainage. Additional holes should be drilled or punched in containers that do not drain quickly after each watering. Drainage is reduced when the container is set on a solid surface such as a cement or patio floor. Raising the container one or two inches off the floor by setting it on blocks of wood will solve this drainage problem. The size of the container will be determined by the vegetable grown. Generally, most vegetables grown in the soil can be grown in containers as long as ample space is provided for root development. Shallow rooted crops like lettuce, peppers, radishes, and herbs need a container at least 6 inches in diameter with an eight inch soil depth. Bushel baskets, half barrels, wooden tubs, or large pressed paper containers are ideal for growing tomatoes, squash, pole beans, and cucumbers.

    Extractions: (Paul Tukey) I think the quote from the director of the Ft. Lauderdale International Film Festival, where we had our official U.S. premiere and won the Independent Spirit Award, really said it best for us: "Fascinating. Enlightening. Frightening. A Chemical Reaction kept my audience rapt with attention! This film should be required viewing." Audiences are moved. The criticism has come mostly from people who haven't seen it yet. They hear that it's a film about lawn chemicals and immediately judge it to be a ho-hum bummer of a film, or this educational diatribe best viewed in a college class. It's really a human interest story about the spirit of a community. It's about the difference just one person can make. We actually invoke that great Margaret Mead quote in the film, the one about how the only real change comes from just a few people. read more Brighten Up Your Winter Garden With Colorful Berries Just because the trees are bare and there is snow on the ground doesn't mean that your garden has to become a winter wasteland.

    Extractions: Since the world’s existence, gardens were already cherished and cultivated. They were widely accepted for their undeniable benefits. In the ancient times of Egypt, gardens played an important role in keeping the city beautiful and cool to the eyes of onlookers. They were also used in the city of Babylon and Rome. They displayed awe-inspiring views and bestowed breathtaking landscapes. Gardens are still done by people today for the same purpose and more. But current times may present a problem that many gardeners face – lack of space. And so container gardening was discovered. Its major advantage is its space saving capabilities. This kind of gardening is very popular in urban and even in rural areas as land space proves to be a problem. Container gardening is a city dweller’s response to the big backyard garden of the good olden years. All you need is a container, a healthy soil and the assortment of plants you want to grow, and you are good to go. It’s really easy and fun! Planted pots and hanging baskets may hide eyesores around your home. In addition, with the pleasant view it provides, you can easily relax and meditate right in your own home without going to expensive spas. It also gives you something to care about as plants need all the attention they can get. And aside from the evident decorative purpose it presents, it’s very economical too. Equipped with the basic knowledge, the proper tools and the needed drive, you can transform your home into your dream paradise!

There are few things more satisfying than watching those little seeds you planted not so long ago, slowly spring from the earth to form nourishing vitamin rich food for you and the people you love. Sadly, in this day and age, not everyone has a big backyard with soil suited for growing vegetables. Some of us don't have any yard at all! However, even the smallest patio, back porch, balcony or doorstep can provide enough room for a beautiful and productive garden (see Small Space Gardening There are many wonderful reasons to garden partially or exclusively in containers.

    Guide to building a simple container garden without soil.  
    http://edu.beelink.com.cn/20041012/1698105.shtml
    
    Extractions: This is Gwen Outen with the VOA Special English Agriculture Report. Who says people need land to grow vegetables? All you need is a roof that is strong enough, and flat enough, to support a garden. We are going to describe one way to build a rooftop garden that does not even require soil. The advice is based on a method developed by the Educational Concerns for Hunger Organization, or Echo, in the early nineteen eighties. Echo is a Christian non-profit group that has a demonstration farm in Florida. The idea was to help people living in cities to grow their own vegetables. Four things are needed to follow this design for a small rooftop garden. One thing, as we said, is a roof that can support the weight. Another is grass cuttings. The third thing is a sheet of plastic on which to spread the cut grass. And the last thing is a box about eight centimeters deep and made out of four pieces of wood. Once you are sure the roof is good, cut and collect some grass. Then lay down the plastic where the garden box will go. The four-sided box can be as long and as wide as needed. Place the box on top of the sheet of plastic. Then fill it with the cut grass. Next, add water and walk on the cuttings to press them down. After about three weeks, the rooftop garden is ready for planting. Put the seeds directly into the wet grass cuttings. This garden is a good place to grow peas, tomatoes, beans, onions and lettuce. If the box is deep enough, potatoes and carrots will also grow.
