Grow More in Containers This Season 🌿


Hi Garden Friend!

Can I tell you something? Some of my favorite harvests haven’t come from big raised beds… they’ve come from simple pots on a patio.

If you’ve been putting off gardening because you don’t have a backyard, or you feel overwhelmed by the idea of “starting a whole garden”, container gardening is such a gentle way to begin.

A few good pots, quality soil, sunshine, and you’re on your way.

You don’t need a big plan. You just need a place to start.

Container Gardening Basics for Beginners

If you’re not sure where to begin, this is the best place to start. In this post, I walk you through the real basics: what kind of containers actually work, how much sun you really need, and the little things that make a big difference (like drainage… always drainage 😉).

20 Easy Fruits & Veggies to Grow in Containers

One of the biggest questions I get is: “Okay… but what should I actually plant?”

So I put together a list of fruits and vegetables that truly do well in containers, not just ones that can survive, but ones that will actually produce and make you feel successful. Think tomatoes, lettuce, strawberries, herbs, and more.

The Pots I Personally Love Using

Over the years I’ve tried all kinds of containers, and I keep coming back to lined fabric pots for a few simple reasons.

They’re incredibly easy to use, lightweight enough to move around when I need to chase the sun (or protect plants from a surprise cold snap), and the drainage is fantastic. No soggy roots. No guessing if water is pooling at the bottom.

And maybe most importantly? Mine have held up beautifully for over three years now. They’ve been through heat, storms, and plenty of watering, and they’re still going strong.

If you’re investing in containers this season, these are the ones I personally use and recommend. Use the 5 and 15 gallon sizes.

Hi Garden Friend! One thing I’ve learned after years of installing and planting gardens is that vegetables grow better when flowers are part of the plan. Flowers attract pollinators, bring beneficial insects into the garden, and honestly just make the whole space more enjoyable to spend time in. And let’s be honest, when the vegetable garden isn’t producing as well as we’d like, the flowers are usually still thriving. If you're thinking about adding more flowers to your garden this year, here...

Hi Garden Friend! One thing I’ve learned after installing quite a few raised bed gardens over the years is this: What you put inside the beds matters just as much as the beds themselves. The right soil mix can mean stronger plants, bigger harvests, and a garden that’s much easier to maintain. The wrong mix can make growing vegetables a lot harder than it needs to be. So today I’m sharing a few helpful guides to make filling your raised beds simple. 🌱 Start With the Right Soil Mix Before you...

Hi Garden Friend! Raised beds are one of the easiest ways to grow a productive vegetable garden… but I see the same mistakes happen over and over again. And the frustrating part? Most of them are completely avoidable once you know what to look for. Here are 5 raised bed mistakes I see all the time: Using wood that’s too thinIt’s tempting to save money on lumber, but thin boards often warp, rot, or break much faster than thicker boards. Growing vegetables in too much shadeMost vegetables need...
