Choosing Seeds for Container Gardens

Container gardening works best when the size of the plant is matched to the size of the pot. Leafy greens, herbs, radishes, compact flowers, and bunching onions can grow in modest planters, while tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, carrots, bush beans, summer squash, and other larger vegetables need deeper containers and more soil.

Good drainage matters as much as container size. Choose pots with open drainage holes, use a dependable growing mix, and avoid allowing roots to sit in standing water. Containers dry more quickly than garden soil, so check moisture regularly during hot, sunny, or windy weather.

Build the garden around the containers you have and the space each crop will need at maturity. Combine quick crops such as lettuce, radishes, and herbs with longer-producing vegetables and flowers, leaving enough room for roots, airflow, and regular watering. As one crop finishes, another can take its place, keeping a small garden productive through more of the season.
