About.com's Kerry Michaels says that even if you "think you have a black thumb or haven’t ever tried to garden? Container gardening is a great place to start. Even a complete novice can create a spectacular container. All you really need to get started is a container, some potting soil and either seeds or plants."



Great bang for your buck: You can use almost anything for a container. Space is not the final frontier: Even the smallest space can be enhanced by a container garden. Kids love it: My kids wouldn’t look at peas until they grew them and could eat them right off the vine. Something for everyone: With container gardening you can have great results being as relaxed or ambitious as you want to be.

carrots are always a great place to start.. they're easy and tasty. I'd always eat them before they were fully grown though, LOL

Thanks for the post. I can't never get into gardening no matter what. i think i'm just lazy lol

Yeah, Rosie!! And a tomato plant grows well in a pot... So does strawberrys... I've even grown potatos in a tall pot... Starting at the bottom... And adding soil as the potato grows... You end up with a pot full of potatos!!

Lol Adrienne!! Well if you'd spent less time on MUT maybe......... Never mind!!! Hahaha...... I have the same problem with my bigger garden and towards the end of the season the weed finally win.... And everything goes to seed...
