Growing Patio Vegetables QUICK and EASY!

[@carolynsteele5116]

I helped my two elderly sisters set up balcony gardens using pots. We also used a small children's swimming pool filled with potting soil for salad greens and kale. They are so delighted at being able to grow veggies!

[@simplifygardening]

That's a great idea Carolyn Using swimming pools will give some good depth too. Great stuff

[@lilacjay]

Hi , I agree that you can grow many different foods in the garden. I have been doing it for 16 years, and although my garden is slightly larger than this one, I grow everything from fruit trees in planters, to potatoes and over 30 different types of veg. It is doable and I would urge people to try out the potted method. I enjoyed watching the video , thanks for all of your videos, love them. Jane

[@simplifygardening]

Thats brilliant Jane. A lot of people new to gardening and wanted to show them no matter the space they can grow

I live in town on a corner lot right across from a public school! I had a truck load of wood chips brought in about 2 years ago. And been building raised beds in my front yard! It is Beautiful and I'm so glad I started! It is My quiet place and my calm in through all the crazy! My soil is more rich then I ever though it could be! I was real nervous at first and my neighbors thought I was mad woman! But the end the result is So worth it! Watching videos like You gave me the confidence to jump in and start it! :) So I thank you!!💚🌱

I just like how you explain for each tip. Yes planting in containers is really a big task because the dirt can easily dry under the sun. My tomato in container is having big fruits but everytime I missed watering it in the morning, the leaves droop right away.

[@simplifygardening]

Yes your right. But if you only have a patio then its still worth growing. Mulch will help a lit. Check out the video in the endscreen

Uneven watering can cause 'Blossom End Rot' so you might wanna ensure that you water, maybe put in a 'Drip Irrigation' system?

[@nenemaria-cornfieldsgarden]

Great tips. I think people worry that a few small planters isn't enough space to grow veg and while you might not be getting full heads of cabbage in a small pot, most veg you can grow in the ground you can grow in a planter. I use a mixture of in ground and container and grow all sorts. I do loads of potatoes in sacks, tomatoes, peas, kale, beetroot, carrots, spring onions, just to name a few in containers along my south facing driveway, they always do great! I've had some failures but the best way to learn is to just give it a go and see what happens :)

[@simplifygardening]

Yes I totally agree with you. I grow all my potatoes in those containers, I have 80 of them growing atm, but because we had this space I thought it would make a good video to show that anyone can grow even if they had a patio or even a balcony

Hi Tony, I have decided to take your advice on growing potatoes in bags and plastic containers! My God, they are going crazy already my friend! I have been given some pink fur apples, which is a verity I've never tried before! Also I've just planted out my Brussels, purple kale and Savoy cabbage, all started from seed! My son has had fantastic results growing tomatoes and bell peppers from the seeds of shop purchased tomatoes and peppers! Just hope they go on to produce a decent crop?

[@simplifygardening]

Fantastic! I am so glad that my videos have inspired you to grow at home. and with these tips you can continue to get great results too

[@theborderer1302]

Pink Fir Apple is delicious but very difficult to peel as it's so knobbly - so eat it with the skin on, it's more nutritious like that anyway. Growing in pots is best for this variety as it's very easily attacked by potato nematodes and eel worm, which ruined my crop in the days when I was dumb enough to grow them in the ground. Be sure to feed them when they get going.
