Growing Your Vegetables in Containers

During 2022 and 2023 I grew my vegetables in containers.  I used what ever I could find as long as they were large enough.  I have always grown my herbs and greens in pots but then I tried putting more kinds of veggies in bigger pots.  I was pleasantly surprised to find I could grow summer squash and zucchini as well as beans in grow bags.  Container growing meant it was easier for me to harvest and I could keep a better eye on the various bugs that thrived on them.  

Cucumbers that do well in containers or hanging baskets.

• Space Master - not available this year
• Salad Bush - not available this year
• Pickle Bush or Bush Pickle
• Arkansas Little Leaf
• Pic a Bushel 
• Patio Snacker
• Mini-Me 
• and Alpha Beit types. 

Tips - some do well growing on a type of trellis when planted in pots. In hanging baskets if you find that the edge of the pot stresses the stems you can try putting a piece of pool noodle around the edge for the vines to rest on.
