Hello! My name is Bethany and I grow things in my rooftop container garden in Chicago, zone 6a. I’ve been container gardening for four years and am by no means an expert, just someone who enjoys sharing their garden journey.
In this video, I’ll show you how I fertilize my container herb garden and go over the herbs I’m currently growing.

I would continue to fertilize the perennial herbs but less frequently. Especially with liquid fertilizer.
Wow! You have much more plants than I thought. I hope you have easy access to your patio. Must be lots of work. ☘🌿🌱
Your herbs all look amazing! We would definitely fertilize the perennial herbs in containers just because the nutrients would slowly leech out with every watering. Therefore, we have to put them back so your logic makes perfect sense to us. Ours herbs are in the ground though and we don’t have as many varieties as you do.
Grow big is not organic. Their big bloom is though, look for the OMRI listing on the label if you want organic.
You definitely can fertilize your perennial herbs in pots but only half as often as the annuals. They definitely thrive in dry, poor soil (most come from the hot, dry and rocky Mediterranean climate and are not accustomed to regular water and nutrition. Your herb collection is gorgeous and healthy looking!
your herbs look amazing! I agree with fertilizing more often because they are outside in pots, thanks for the idea.
I really appreciate this channel. Thank you for everything you do.
Where is the shelf for your pots from? Can you link?
Herbs looks lovely and healthy. I also use Epsom salt, banana skin blended and egg shells and I find working perfect for me and the area I live in.

Your garden looks amazing and your passion for gardening is infectious. Enjoy your summer
Yes I fertilize absolutely everything in my containers. It helps the soil not to be too shabby and hold water. Being in zone 10B for me, I need the soil to hold more water than not. I found general guidelines dont typically work for my climate. When I did follow them, my plants didnt do well. Just found your channel! Would love to see more tours and harvest to table vids ❤️❤️❤️
Do you suggest same for (heat) area zone 9 Central Florida? My herbs are started in covered screened patio & transferred outside soil
Nice arrangement
Does anyone know what size pots these are? Thank you ❤️
