It's gardening season! Anyone can grow a container garden, regardless of how much space they have. Put a few pots on your apartment balcony or a pot of mixed herbs on a windowsill.
If the thought of hoeing and weeding turns you off, containers are the way to go. Just water and prune if necessary and you'll have a nice little harvest with a lot less work than a traditional row garden.
I grow a variety of herbs and vegetables in containers on my deck, and this book has inspired me to try growing things I hadn't previously considered. For example, strawberries make a beautiful hanging basket and rainbow chard makes a colorful display in a big tin bucket. I hadn't considered growing sprawling vines like zucchini in a pot, but this book shows that it's definitely possible.
Filled with lots of glossy, color photos, this small book goes plant by plant through a myriad of container plant options.
