Default Re: Container Gardening

My container garden is going the way of fall....I moved all of my herbs into pots and am taking them in for the winter...I've grown accustome to them.

As far as how to start...I'll tell you what I did.
I went to the nursery and asked for 12 of the two gallon starter pots they use. Not pretty but very functional and they already have the drain holes on the side. I screwed them into the top rail of the half fence, filled them with mircle grow gardening soil and stuck some plants in them. All of them did great and I didn't have any trouble transplanting my herbs a few weeks ago.

All I have left know are some strawberry and the peppers. It seems like the peppers are getting a second wind and assuming the first freeze stays at bay, it was close this week, I may get a few more peppers out of them.
