Starting an Edible Container Garden



Edible container gardening can be very rewarding, especially if you are someone who wants to garden with limited space. Container gardening is also a great way for beginner gardeners to begin their learning process on a smaller, more manageble scale. If you follow some basic guidelines for container gardening and take good care of your plants you are already off to a good start. I hope this video helps you get something growing! There is still plenty of time in the season to start a garden. 😀 There is some extra info and links down below!

Don’t forget to “harden off” your started plants! “Hardening off” refers to the period of time you will take to slowly adjust your plants to the area they will be planted in. This will help them to slowly adjust to the wind and sunlight your area receives. On the first day you will bring your plants outside in this spot for 30 minutes to an hour. The next day you will bring them out for a bit longer like 2 hours. The next day 3 hours and so on. This process should go on for about a week to make sure you plants are truly adjusted to their new home. It is important to keep them well watered during this period.

Lastly, I forgot to mention that the smaller your container the quicker it will dry out. Just thought I’d mention that. I always feel like I am forgetting points I wanted to make in my videos so if you have any questions please feel free to ask!

    Maddy, again a great informative video as usual. Unfortunately we are not allowed to plant any small garden this year out front, so I bring my plants in and out on my window sills, which is working out fine I have about 12 nice plants that are producing babies which I separate them into another pot and donate them to my gardening friends in my area. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience so we all grow better plants properly. ❤

    Could u do a video on what medicinal plants are the most important? Or ones that we should be growing in our room under a grow light or what medicinal plants would help
    You survive on an island by yourself, what seeds would u take with you? If u had to choose 10 medicinal plants which ones and why. Hahahah sorry I’m SO INTERESTED and the way you explain and edit your videos is SO GREAT! Please KEEP GOING.

    Oh, your videos are such a delight! So professional, so well done. When you were moving your hand over those herbs, rosemary, sage and thyme, I could almost smell them. They are among my favorite to cook with. The tiny tomatoes looks amazing too, and you simply cannot over use "beautiful", it's perfect for your creations! This is great advise and encouragement for anyone, (even an old timer like me, haha) Thanks so much.

    Excellent video. I’m in a new build property on a brown field site (former cotton mill). Tried growing in pots the first year and everything literally got savaged by slugs. We have had to pave over most of the garden and put in false grass. Just bought a large kitchen planter (wooden) so I’m hoping to get some herbs and salad leaves in next weekend.

    I’ve also just bought some of those black fabric planters. 🤦‍♂️

    I recommend a small olla terracotta Irrigation Pot for your grow bags. I like to drip feed our pots which can be easily controlled and less work. Fantastic video as usual. Love your content. Cheers J
