I know it's freezing outside (at least here in Chicago) but I am already thinking about next year's garden. I want to do more container gardening because I don't want to add more garden beds (we will be moving in a couple of years).
Here is a good article about how to do successful container gardening, especially in a more urban setting - I plan to follow this advice in the spring!
One thing I always hate about potted plants is their need for water - if we are out of town for more than a day or two, they have a hard time surviving. Here is an interesting idea for using soda bottles as planters and watering stations. If you want something bigger, there is something called an EarthBox that has a watering system built in (it looks like it runs about $30 each for a 29"L x 14"W x 11"H container - it holds 3 gallons of water which sounds great to me!). Or you can make your own for about $15.
Actually, there are many ways to make your own - you can check them out yourself by going to this page.
