ALL FAMILIES CAN GROW IN CONTAINERS
Good Morning. It is April 29th, and the weather is starting to warm a bit. If you thought you didn't have enough space to grow vegetables, or the weather is bad, you should know that everyone can grow in containers, even if you live in an apartment or condo, and at any time of the year. Some families with small yards grow in containers on their patios or decks.
There are several types of containers that can be used for growing vegetables including polyethylene plastic bags, clay pots, plastic pots, metallic pots, milk jugs, ice cream containers, bushel baskets, barrels, and planter boxes. It is important to use containers that can accommodate roots of the vegetables you want to grow as the vegetables vary in sizes and rooting depths.
The container needs to have good drainage, and should not contain chemicals that are toxic to plants and human beings. Most vegetables grown in backyard gardens can be grown in containers, although a container's diameter and depth needs to be considered when selecting what vegetables to grow. The plant density (number of vegetable plants per container) depends on individual plant space requirements, and rooting depth.
It's best to use one of the potting mixes in vegetable container gardening as they are light, disease-free, w**d seed-free, and have good drainage. Some potting mixes have pre-mixed plant nutrients, so read the information on the label about how long the pre-mix will feed your plants before you start applying fertilizers. You can also make your own two bushels of potting mix using the following recipe: Shredded sphagnum peat moss (1 bushel), Vermiculite (1 bushel), Ground limestone (1¼ cups), Phosphate fertilizer either 0-20-0 (½ cup) or 0-45-0 (¼ cup), Slow release granular fertilizer such as 5-10-5 (1 cup).
Container-grown plants require more frequent fertilization than field-grown plants because of the limited space within the container for drawing nutrients. Fertilizers can be mixed with the soil mix before filling the container and can also be applied as a nutrient solution. Nutrient solutions can be made by dissolving soluble fertilizer such as 10-20-10, 12-24-12 or 8-16-8 in water following label directions. The nutrient solution is applied once a day when the plants are watered. How often you water may vary with vegetables, but once a day is adequate.
Leach the unused fertilizer nutrients from the potting mix once a week by applying tap water only. It is also very important to water occasionally with a nutrient solution containing micro nutrients such as copper, zinc, boron, manganese, and iron and follow label directions in order to give plants the right amounts.
Plants grown outdoors in containers need frequent watering as the containers dry fast. Watering on a daily basis is necessary to provide adequate moisture for plant growth. Apply enough water to reach the bottom of the container. Allow the excess to drain out through drainage holes. Avoid wetting the leaves when watering as this will encourage development of foliar disease. Try not to allow the containers to dry out completely between watering as this will lead to flower and fruit drop. Now if you grow vegetables in containers indoors, you don't need to water everyday, as there is no sun drying them out.
The size of the containers needed will depend a lot on the vegetable or herbs you are planting. Most Herbs can be planted in 1/2 - 1 gallon containers. Cabbages, Cucumbers, Green Beans, Leaf Lettuce, Spinach, Swiss Chard, and Cherry Tomatoes can be planted in 1 gallon containers. Beets, Carrots, Eggplants, Peppers and Radishes need 2 gallon containers. Your regular tomatoes will need 3 gallon containers. (great info from the University of Illinois Extension)

Settia would like to say Happy Friday. You guys made it another week. With that being said we would like to give y’all the links to this weeks podcast episode. Check the comments.
Who else is getting excited to forage?!
Gwya- Auntie
It's almost time for spring foraging!
🌿✨️😊
This is what I use these things for.
I use Hebit for tea. Fresh or dried I make an awesome herbal tea to reduce inflammation.
Creeping Charlie.... we do not get along. 😒 I pull it but save the purple flowers for crafts. It spreads too much for me.
Purple Dead Nettle is my favorite of the 3. I make tinctures, tea and salve with it. In traditional folk medicine it has been known to help with seasonal allergies and itchiness 💜
And of course....I make no medical claims and encourage y'all to do your own research.
Everything I forage comes from my own land so I know there are no chemicals sprayed anywhere ☺️
Ace says for y’all to have a happy Friday!!! Listen to this weeks podcast episode. We sure do thank y’all for listening to us ramble.

We did our first ever podcast in person and because our platform is changing we decided to video it. Joni came over to my house for a visit and brought her...
Happy rainy Friday friends. We hope you made it through the week without too much trouble. So on Monday Joni and I came together and we did a few videos for our podcasts so they sound a little different this week because we were recording in person together. We are working on getting the actual videos on YouTube but for now I have made our usual podcasts. This week we talked about emergency preparedness. Because as you all know storm season is right around the corner. Please enjoy our podcasts and this video of my pet 8.
Good Friday Morning!!! It’s your dose of laughs and information. We talked about tools and or supplies that you might want to try and keep on hand before you need them. We sure do appreciate yall for taking the time to like our posts and listen to our ramblings.

Podcast sneak peek!
It will still grow. I know a lot of times I get filled with a little bit of envy when I see thoes perfectly manicured gardens. There seems to be no weeds and everything is in its place in nice neat little rows and raised beds then I realized weeds or no weeds your garden will still produce food. I work a full time job I have 2 lambs that I just finished bottle raising (would not trade that for the world) I also have 2 horses that need to be ridden and life is going on. It’s ok that your garden dosent look like thoes perfectly manicured gardens you see on Facebook and Instagram and tictok what matters is that you are trying. Whatever your reason for gardening is be it food security, better produce, or just it just makes you happy keep doing it because you don’t see behind the scenes of thoes pretty gardens you only see what they want to share they struggle too but you know what they keep going so just grow it. #growwhereyoureat #fulltimejobs #ifitmakesyouhappydoit
