My Container Garden

Ever since my then fiance now husband moved in together we've kept up with a container garden. Last year, after buying our home we were both excited to finally be able to have a real garden until we read through the 54 pages of HOA rules. Of course (our luck) one of the rules states no in-ground gardens. So we're stuck with the container garden once again; however, our luck with the container garden has always brought us tons of herbs, tomatoes, bell peppers, and jalapeno's and this year spring lettuce mix.

Having a garden whether it be in-ground or container can save you so much money in the long run--especially if you like to cook like me. I love having the satisfaction of knowing I have a variety of herbs right in my back yard that I grew. This allows me to easily whip up whatever meal it may be. I also like knowing that all of my herbs and vegetables are pesticide free. The only thing we use to help our plants prosper is a fish emoltion mix that is only used but a few times during the season.... it's great for the plants and is pesticide free! Making our container garden organic! Below you'll find some pictures I took of garden the other day, and my tips on growing them along with what types of food you can typically find them in. I never thought I had a green thumb until I started my container garden a few years back--it just takes a little dedication and lots of paitence, and you too will soon have a nice garden to pick your organic produce from!
