Fall Veggie Container Gardening

For a fall veggie container garden you will need to first see what veggies you will grow. The best way to choose would be to pick veggies that you eat. Than you will want to see how much space you have so you can see how much of these veggies you can grow & how many containers you will be able to use for the space you have available.

Here are some winter plants to choose from:

1. Lettuce
2. Spinach
3. Cabbage
4. Broccoli
5. Cauliflower
6. Garlic (for spring bloomings)
7. Chives
8. Scallions
9. Beets
10. Arugala
11. Chard
12. Carrots

Once you have choosen your veggies & have your containers. If you are reusing containers that was used during the summer. You will want to clean out the containers & disinfect them so no disease will carry on to your fall garden. Try to pick colorful veggies to make a beautiful container garden.

Mix soil & compost in your containers. Follow the seed instructions & water once completed. You will want to check on your container garden everyday & water everyday until you start seeing growth. Than you will need to check the veggies daily & water as needed.

Some garden centers will have seedlings available to buy. And you won't need to start from seed which will make the process much easier for a beginner. But if you did start from seed you will want to make sure that your veggies are not getting over crowded & thin them out for a better yield. The best part some of the veggies listed above is that some are perrenials which will come back in the spring....YAY.

You will be so happy to have fresh veggies straight from your garden!!!

Happy Gardening!!!!
