Container Garden

I am a self confessed black thumb in the garden.  But I never really lose hope that whatever I plant will survive...somehow.  So I keep it small and simple.  I know there are lots of ideas for container gardening on the internet.  Here are a few things I learned.  Key words, bush, compact, space saver, will work well for container gardens.  I decided to try tomato, cucumber, green pepper and lettuce with a few marigolds for color.  You can use anything for a container garden just make sure it has drainage.  Use lighter colored containers since dark ones absorb heat.  You will have to water a container garden more often, check daily.  So with all that in place, here I go, hoping for at least a tomato or two!  Happy gardening!
