From windows to balconies, patios
to rooftops, green thumbs are
finding there is always some space o garden.
Gardening is possible anywhere — n an apartment, condominium or town louse — with containers.
The great advantage of containers s that they, unlike a garden bed, can be placed next to where you work and live — on the patio, balcony or deck, in groupings by the front and back doors or at windows. They require no heavy digging and little or no weeding.
Most containers can easily be moved away from adverse weather conditions or whenever the plants look like they would benefit from a change of location. Whenever a container of flowers or edibles takes on a bleached and droopy look, for instance, that’s a sign it needs a cooler location with a little protection from at least the hot afternoon sun, according to syndicated garden columnist Patrick Denton. On the other hand, weak, lank growth and poor blooming often indicate a need for more sun.
Before you go shopping for plants, assess potential container garden sites for exposure to the sun and determine whether they are in full sun. filtered light, light shade or deep shade.
