Seven years ago, just for fun, I tried a few tomato plants in containers. This year I grew cherry tomatoes, slicing tomatoes, yellow squash, zucchini, cucumbers, green beans, bok choy, butter lettuce, spinach, rainbow chard, three kinds of kale, mint, basil (Italian and Thai), parsley, chamomile, and yarrow-all in containers on my deck. Next year I’m adding potatoes. I really enjoy your videos. Keep ‘em coming, please!

[@susanp102]

U can probably add potatoes now, unless u live in zones 1 or 2, LOL. I'm getting ready to plant some of the leftovers from last winter which are budding like crazy now. I'll predominantly be doing purple (sweet) potatoes. I live in zone 9a.

I got free square shaped food grade buckets from the galley near my work. They held fruit cocktail and other fruit and vegetables and the empty containers were going to be thrown away. Check with your local restaurants for 3-5 gallon containers that contained larger quantities of food, drill holes in the bottom, and you have a free container. I have had them for years!

[@rhulse8904]

@@LeisaStroud-df4yj Need to make double sure they are food safe/grade plastic free of harmful chemicals that will leach into the soil. Food-grade plastics can contain recycled materials, but they should fit proper guidelines set by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Usually, plastic containers come with a food-grade rating that spans from 1 to 7. When it comes to food storage, plastic grades 2, 4, and 5 are deemed the safest. The use of these plastics for storing or growing food will prevent accidental ingestion of harmful toxins.

One hack for growing in containers is to put the holes a couple inches from the bottom on the sides. This stores a bit of moisture and you rarely have to water them!

Be sure to trellis your eggplant and peppers in containers. The only issue you had was the plants splitting and breaking from wind and big veggies.

[@smas3256]

We stake our Bells and tie them. Wind has broken branches on 4 bell plants that still have green peppers on them. I'll pick before they get soft because leaves are still beautiful. two in buckets and the other two in the ground.

[@janking2762]

We grow eggplants and peppers in cages so they won’t break branches. You could use mini cages with container plants.

[@harrybates-smith9372]

[@DesertRoseJRTs]

We always grow our small Tomatoes and hot Peppers in big pots on our sunny patio, along with all my potted flowers. The yields are stunning. This was my FINAL YEAR for ground planting. We got too wet/cool here in Virgina during June/July. Then, hot and drought, all these things will be our new normal. We had ZERO Tomatoes and Cucumbers in the ground, same with landscape clients growing in the ground. Last winter we finished up the raised beds for one client, they had a magnificent yield this Summer! We are helping another client get her raised beds in too, and completely redesign her garden. I already have two raised beds for lettuce and strawberries. The strawberries will be grown in pots off the ground, as I'm tired of loss. So I just received my Premium Cedar Beds, and will redo our OWN garden area this fall, putting up fencing/gate, putting down cardboard and chopped leaves. I'll go ahead and put the protectant on the cedar wood, and put them in place, along with the steel trellising. Won't fill with soil until Spring. We want to be ready! Thanks James and Tuck, for all your inspiration and good advice!

[@smas3256]

Ct 6b. We had same conditions. We started Bell peppers and Roma Tomatoes, Basil, Marigolds under lights early enough to make a positive difference. 6 qt, and 24 pints of sauce. 3 locations and twice started under lights for the Roma's. Florida weave saved most from breaking. Roma's did not ripen all at once. All but one roma's in the garden. Peppers in buckets still have green ones and more then the peppers in the ground. We've been following James couple years and has helped tremendously. Love his pruning teaching videos.

First, I love your videos. Keep up the nice work. Just watched your container video and I wanted to share. I have a bad back but love to garden. I started using containers several years ago and I love it. I'll admit not as great as yours, but pretty good. This year I had about 20 fabric grow bags, from 5 gallon to 20. I had peppers, eggplant, tomatoes, lettuce, flowers, zucchini, (yes zucchini), spinach, kale, swiss chard, mizuna. They all did well. It's much easier for me to tend to the plants with a chair. I also can move them around. Say out of the sun when too hot, or if one is shaded by another plant, I can move them around to get them more sun. They are a big help for me. Sorry for the long comment, but wanted you to know how much I enjoy the containers and your videos. Going to check out the merch!

I like the fact that you are honest. Not all gardeners show us what products they use against pests.

[@brichter4669]

I have a small backyard and no space for an in-ground garden. I can only do container gardening. The potting mix I used last year was terrible and nothing would grow in it. This year, I made my own potting mix, which, worked great. I have a large outdoor patio, so I use that for my containers. This past spring, I planted 38 fabric grow bags and 2 GreenStalk vertical planters. I learned a lot about bugs this growing season. It was my first time growing brassicas. The cabbage worms got them, destroyed the plants very fast and didn't get any produce from them. I only grew dwarf tomato plants, and the leaf-footed bugs got my tomato plants. I did get a decent harvest of tomatoes though. Bell peppers did well in grow bags. Overall, even though I had some disappointing setbacks, I overcame the challenges and had a decent veggie harvest. For next year, I've already planned how to outsmart the bugs, so they won't get to enjoy the fruit of my hard labor. Bwaaahaha!

When I research what size pot to use for some of those crops, it's usually recommended to use a 10-20+ gallon pot or grow bag and that's a LOT of soil.

Hi James. I would love to see a video of you making your soil. I am just preparing to build some raised beds. Ironically, I just found your channel when I moved from Jersey to Florida. But even though I will have to time some things differently, I can still use so many of your tips. I used to grow vegetables in containers on my balcony when I lived in an apartment 40 years ago! I still grow most of my annuals in containers, I just find they are so much less maintenance than a big patch of earth that needs weeding. And you can grow plants with different needs side by side in their own pot, each it's own ecosystem. Also, except in the hottest weather, I believe that container gardening is water saving, as you only have to water the pot and not all the surrounding ground.

[@frog93]

I’ve been growing moringa for years in 7b. I transplant them in a smaller container to overwinter in the garage and when spring comes, I plant them in the ground to make them grow wild. Pinch the very top to encourage growing more branches so you can have more leafy greens. You can also eat the young pods like long beans. Just in case the overwintered moringa’s stems die, don’t throw it away. Check the root if it’s still hard, if it’s mushy then it’s dead. If it’s still hard, it’s alive. You’ll have more stems of moringa the next time you plant it outside. Last year I overwintered my peppers and they are doing great this year. No need to plant from seed.

Place you peppers in the partially shaded areas or East side of your house so it will only get the Morning sun & not the hot hot temp.
