container gardening - potatos

Who doesn't know its bright yellow flower head that is made up of hundreds of tiny florets? Tomatoes are easy to grow, both in a container and in your very own garden.

Hedges are also a great way to hide unsightly areas around your property. Because they are hanging, they are prone to drying out, especially when the wind blows. Although the kitchen is not the only location for an herb garden, especially if you live in a high rise or an apartment where you have no windows or very small ones in your kitchen area, look around your home for an area where there is sunlight and warmth.

Plan early enough in the season what you want to bring in when the temperatures start to fall. You want to consider the type of greenhouse you want , a cold house or a heated greenhouse, and the construction and type of foundation that is required. The right ground cover can help your garden with such conditions as, shade exposure, sun exposure, and foot traffic, throughout your garden area.

Make sure to keep the flowers moist until they are established in the soil. Fallen leaves, tree bark and bushes offer such needed protection for our beautiful friends.
