Vegetable Garden Basics for Containers, Raised Beds and Plots

Tracy Knutsen

I created a raised be in my yard last year and also had a few buckets with tomatoes and peppers set up next to it.  Things went pretty well and I’m encouraged to try again this year.  I found that adding marigolds to the borders really kept the mosquitoes and other pests away from my little crop.  And they looked so pretty!

  4. Very informative. I’ve never planted a garden, but always he helped my dad water his (as well as pick the crop). I’d love to have one on my patio and will remember the linked site when I get ready to start. I had no idea that some plants don’t do well in containers.
