Last night I went to free class put on by my grocery story co-op. It was all about container gardening which is all we can do at this point being in a small apartment with no outdoor space. I wanted to know what grows best in pots and with a limited amount of sun and shorter growing season here in the Northwest.

It was pretty informative and after a while we got to pot our own plant and get our hands dirty. I chose a baby chard plant and I’m looking forward to watching it grow. With my mini garden started I’m getting really excited about what’s next. Lettuce, strawberries, maybe some herbs?

Do you have any container plants growing? What wisdom can you share?
