Most of us think of a vegetable garden as a
large piece of land with veggies growing in neat rows. But you can blend vegetables into your flower
beds or have them in containers on your patio or balcony. Cherry tomatoes do well in large containers
as do pole beans, English cucumbers, peppers, strawberries, and many
herbs. (They may need a support and
remember to water them regularly as they will dry out faster in a container.) You can plant lettuce, radishes, beets, swiss
chard or spinach, and tomatoes in with your flowering plants. If you replant lettuce every couple of weeks
throughout the summer, you’ll have a continual supply that tastes much better
than the store bought variety, plus you’ll know there are no chemical residues
on the produce.
