Edible Container Gardening Resources

April 18th, 2009

2744248561_af0d76de46_bIt’s been slow on the posting front, as I’ve gotten addicted to Twitter (follow me!).  I’ve been coming across a lot of great container gardening-related resources, and thought I’d throw up a quick list of a few:

Vegetables

  • Great list of specific vegetable varieties well-suited to container growing.
  • This page has a good chart (scroll to bottom) showing the minimum container sizes for various vegetables.
  • Lifehacker’s post about self-watering tomato planters.

Fruits

  • Basic tips for growing fruit in pots.
  • An article specifically about apples.
  • A pdf all about growing blueberries in containers.
  • From the Royal Horticultural Society, a great list of fruit varieties suitable for container growing.

For all troubleshooting related to container gardening, post questions to the forum at GardenWeb.

Finally, if you like the tactile experience of a book, pick up a copy of McGee and Stuckey’s Edible Container, an encyclopedic work on the subject.

Have fun!
