~Container Gardening~

I did some container gardening this year! I have 2 Brandywine Tomatoe plants , 1 Cucumber and 2 Tomitillo plants Growing. I also have a set of dresser drawers that are growing herbs, such as Cilantro,Spinach and Red Torpedo Onions. I also used the rest of that dresser and laid it on its backside and am growing  Radishes and Carrots. All has been going well! Although I have been a little frustrated with those Brandy Wine tomatoes. The plants are nice and green and full of foliage. Everyday I look to see if I have even 1 Tomatoe. Everyday like the last, ive been dissapointed. Until Today!!! Finally, one little gem of a Tomato!

I couldnt believe it, so I took a picture and decided I must blog about it! Ive Heard Heirlooms are difficult. Im sure it will be worth the wait! I cant wait to eat a BrandyWine! I just hope more Tomatoes are going to follow suit. What grows well in containers for you? Whats your favorite thing to grow in containers? Let me know.

Recycling is fun in a garden. You can get creative and skies the limit. Happy Gardening!

Dresser planter box

Heres the dresser without the drawers! Put it in big garden and it currently has carrots and radishes growing. Lots of radishes so far, but no carrots yet! Drilled holes in the bottom and put rocks at the bottom for drainage.

Dresser Gardening

I reused an old dresser sitting on my back porch! Useed the drawers as an herb garden and to grow baby spinach. Then i used the empty dresser to grow radishes, carrots,fennyl and lettuce. Drilled holes in the drawer for drainage. Stacked 2 drawers on bricks, so they are raised off the ground. Set the third drawer in the middle, so they staggered. Under each drawer i put differnt metal pans to catch any dripping water, and use that water in other flower beds. It gives my backyard some personality.Gives the section of my patio a shabby chic look.
