small containers try to use containers that are deeper rather than wider for
growing carrots and you can get great quality carrots as you can see here even
with smaller size containers you can grow some interesting varieties like
this purple carrot or even other carrot varieties and if you get smaller carrots
from your harvest don't worry because these are still organically grown
carrots and they're fresh delicious and free of pesticides and chemicals so keep
growing carrots and containers and moving on to radish radish can
easily be grown in extremely small containers choose early maturing radish
varieties like the scarlet globe which you can grow in very small containers it
will give you a great harvest even if you don't have a lot of space and the

  1. I was just watching older videos from you the other day. I was wondering if you had any updates on your pineapple. I harvested two last month and two this month. I could have had more but somebody stole some of my plants, could you believe that? The whole plants! I put the rest somewhere people can't see them from the street now, so as not to tempt sticky fingers.

  5. I am growing an Early Girl tomato, cilantro, dwarf nasturtiums, a couple of bell pepper plants, onions, and cucumbers in my fabric pot containers. This is the first time I am using the fabric pots; but, not the first time I have grown veggies in containers. So far, the plants seem to be doing okay. They have been in the containers since early June. I have seen some insect damage on the leaves; but, haven't been able to see the insects that are causing the damage.
