Vegetable Gardening in the City
Good Morning!
Even if you live in the city, you can grow vegetables! Veggies will grow anywhere provided they have lots of sun, and many do just fine in containers, including tomatoes, peppers, and lettuce. Suitable containers can be found at the garden center or home improvement stores of course, but there are other places to find great planters as well. Try a bakery, deli, or grocery store-most will be happy to give away their empty 5 gallon food pails. Another great idea is to simply plant them right into a bag of potting soil or in a large plastic trash bag. The only things you need to keep in mind when chosing a container is drainage and size. Without good drainage your plants wil die from root rot.
Tommorrow, more about growing vegetables in containers!

I have grown a variety of veggiess in containers and in community garden plots. Nothing fresher than picking beans, peas or tomatoes and then eating them.
