- Container gardening is easy once you know what vegetables & herbs to grow and a few tips on how to grow best in grow bags, buckets, flower pots, etc. Today I'll take you through my seven favorite crops to grow in containers and the things you should always do when starting a container garden. Container gardening offers a great solution to small space gardens, such as a balcony garden, patio garden, apartment garden, and more. I'll also harvest turnips from my grow bags!

I was looking for tips on how to grow vegetables in grow bags and yours came out first
Thank you for the tips
I just recently purchased some grow bags and it’s my first time to use one
I am looking forward to seeing your garden this year
Im so happy to hear that. Glad the video was helpful. I just harvested new potatoes. Now time to wash the bags and get ready for summer crops!
We have used all of these things as well it really is helpful for keeping bugs out of them. Also helpful if you need to cover them.
Yes to both of those! I’ve seen a big difference in insect-prone plants when I keep them on the patio in containers.
Great video Valerie. Thanks for sharing your tips. Love your garden chair, it has such interesting details on it. I have something similar that I bought while we were traveling through Africa last year.
Thanks, Germaine! And yes, I got it at an African festival here about 10 years ago. It’s so versatile. I love it!
great idea. thank you
Glad it was useful. Thanks for watching
Always nice to have garden helpers :) That should be tip #1 :) -Cara
Haha, yes you’re right! It’s such a joy to have little hands at work in the garden ❤️
@@NowGardening Indeed it is :)
Even if you have a garden spot, growing in containers is a great way to add extra space to your garden. I hope this video gives you a few ideas of some easy wins when you're using grow bags or buckets. It's all about experimenting and finding what you love to eat that motivates you to grow it! Have fun and see you next time :)
Magnifique bravo 😊
Merci. Bonne soirée 🌸
@@NowGardening de rien
Bonne soirée à toi aussi
The rain bombs we've been getting the last few years have forced me to get my tomatoes out of the ground and into 55 gallon poly drums cut in half. I hill my garden rows, but nothing was capable of preventing the excess rain from bursting them.
Wow! I had some splitting this year after our flash floods. You’ve found a smart way to grow tomatoes in our ever-changing world. Thanks for sharing your experience
Thanks for your wonderful advice. I grew my potatoes in a huge water trough but I did try one cloth bag and got 13 potatoes.
I love growing Peppers and Herbs in containers.🌱
Beautiful turnips!
Hi Barb. I saw the water troughs all over when I was visiting my daughter in Texas. Love them! And when I saw your harvest, I really wish I had myself one of those!
Nice tip on tomatoes!! We took suckers of one of ours and planted them into a grow bag just to see.
Biggest problem for has always been moisture, but know we're at the garden.
Great video Val, and welcome back !!
Cheers J&C 🌱👍
Hi J&C. It’s great to see that your still popping up in my feed. I was worried you had just rode off i to the sunset at first. Hope you’re having a great weekend!
@NowGardening never !! Just super busy in a great way :))))
Great container garden list and tips! I like my cloth bag too even though mine are a bit frumpy looking. They work really well and are easy to store away when not in use!
Thanks, Andrea. The looks don’t count; it’s the results that matter! I love how easy they are to wash and store too.
Hi Val,5 or 6 weeks and your turnips are that big,that's 'wow' for sure..
I'm half way thru the lesson vid and would like to know where you get that lovely dark soil from...Matt🐝☺️
Hi Matt. Yes, the turnips went wild this year. The dates I had in the video came straight from the dates showing on the individual videos I had taken. I had to recheck because it seemed like too short of a time period!
Very useful info. Thanks for sharing Valerie.
Thank you. I’m glad it was helpful.
Enjoyed your video and the information on filling growing containers. Thank you for sharing . ❤
Thank you, Patricia. Have a great weekend 😍
Oh,you answered the soil question lol
How do you offset the cost of the soil/ingredients?Matt
Hi again 😊 When I’m first setting up new containers, I consider it a investment cost. But from that point on, I will reuse the soil each year (adding compost and fertilizers to replenish the nutrients lost). I have been doing this with my flowers and potted plants for years with great results. The only exception is if the plant is diseased and then the soil gets thrown out. Also, I try to save costs by making my own comfrey and nettle fertilizers and using saved rainwater to water everything when I’m not traveling. Hope this gives you a few ideas!
Yes, very useful info to reuse soil with added nutrients when necessary etc..
Cheers Val!
France seems to enjoy having farmer/market gardener markets,do you sell any produce locally?
Apologies for my inquisitiveness I make up for my lack of skills by asking tons of questions lol(partly true),tho I do find it interesting..😊
@@mattlaker8763 I love going to the markets here, but I'm just a spectator buying goodies and having a drink at the outdoor cafe with our friends. Now that I think about it, I should make a video for that on our new travel channel lol
@@NowGardening good idea that would be great!
I'll let you get on with your weekend in peace lol,thanks for your help Val🌄
What’s your thought on copper in the garden?
Copper is a complicated topic. According to university studies, not enough of it and your plants are susceptible to diseases and stunted, too much and your plants are stunted too. I haven’t experimented with it, so I don’t have a strong opinion on it except to say to be careful not to overdo using it since correcting soil that has too much copper seems to require a lot of effort.
I meant copper antenna, coiled on a rod, not spreading copper in the garden i’ve seen some videos I thought you might have some insight. Thanks for your opinion.
