How to Grow a Container Garden with an outdoor glazed pot

It is still possible to enjoy gardening even if one does not have a large yard. Container gardening utilizes smaller spaces on patios, decks or other sunlit areas to grow your favorite vegetables in outdoor glazed pots.

Steps

1

Choose a sunlit area to place the plants. Make sure they have plenty of room between them to grow and be watered.

2

Decide which plants you want to grow. Not all vegetables can be grown this way; choose varieties that are designed for pot growth. Since space for the plant is limited, choose plants that don't need a large radius to thrive. An easy way to know is that the plant name will have words such as "patio", "bush," "dwarf" or "miniature" in the title (good examples of these are toyboy tomato, patio tomato etc.) Bush plants and root plants such as peppers, onions, and carrots will also do well.

3

Choose a good glazed planter. Each plant needs at least a 5 gallon container to grow to prevent it from being root bound. Smaller ceramic garden pots may be useful for smaller plants or root plants. Also each pot needs to have drain holes to prevent root rot. Avoid terracotta or dark colored pots which dry out quickly. Cans can also be used. Tin cans are generally good for smaller plants like herbs, while larger cans can sometimes accommodate small veggies.

4

Choosing potting soil. It is usually best to use bagged potting soil for your outdoor ceramic garden pot because it already has the balanced nutrition your plants will need. It is also free of bacteria and bugs that are in ground soil. Good potting soil will have a mix of peat moss and vermiculite. Each type of crop will require slightly different soil mixtures and planting depths, so make sure to plant accordingly.

5

Check the moisture of the soil at least two times a day. Potted gardens need more watering than regular gardens because of the confined space. Do not wait till the plant is wilting to water it.

6

Check to make sure plants are getting around 5 hours of direct sunlight a day. Some plants, such as cabbage, can live in shaded areas, but others thrive in full sun like cucumbers.
