Рецепт Thinking About an Edible Container Garden?

Now that the snow has melted and hopefully Mother Nature is going to start being kind to us, my mind turns to the garden. I have a couple of raised garden beds already along the side of my house, but I wanted to set up something on my deck. Last summer, I had a few pots with some herbs growing that way they were steps away from my kitchen. I like having some things handy while I am cooking, whether it be in the kitchen or on the grill. It makes cooking that much more simpler and when you have little ones you don’t want to be running out the garden for another bunch of cilantro! I wanted to do something a bit more attractive this year and buying some nice planters that I could plan around my decor was just the way to do it!
Edible container gardens are great to have because the maintenance is easy, you aren’t hunched over weeding, and you can have everything right outside your door. Whether it be herbs or a few ingredients to make a great salad, it’s something easy that everyone can do regardless of how much land you have.
Before we headed out to The Home Depot, I did some browsing online. Granted we can walk to aisles for some time and find what we need, I get mommy brain sometimes and going in with a plan is the best thing to do with a toddler in tow. While she loves going to The Home Depot, really she does, her time has a limit on it. I found a few tips on the Garden Club site that they offer and then took some of that advice and went to find some products online, just so I would have an idea of product names and types.
I decided that I wanted a few planters, but I wasn’t sure what size and style I wanted. Those decisions are best left to seeing the product in person. I wanted to do at least one planter with all herbs. While I have a big tomato garden I grow in my raised garden bed, I thought having some grape tomatoes handy out the back door would be something nice to snack on. Then, to mix things up and make things fun for my daughter I was considering some type of berry plant if I could find one that would be suitable for a container.
So, I wrote down my list for the primary things like planters, soil, weed block (I hadn’t thought of this until I saw it mentioned on The Home Depot site), and some veggies. I figured this would get us started. We loaded up the truck and hit the big orange store!
