Container Gardening Round Up

Santa brought me a little treat in my stocking this year! Sunset Container Gardening.

Who doesn’t love a new gardening book? I know I do. Container Gardening is published by Sunset. Which is a garden publisher that has been around for a lot of years. In fact, the first gardening book I ever bought was published by Sunset. I still refer to it multiple times a year and it is more than 20 years old.

Sunset Container Gardening was full of great container gardening info! It covers using containers everywhere from Entryways to Decks and porches to Roof Gardens and Balconies. It also has a great section on the care and maintenance of containers. But best of all it’s just a very BEAUTIFUL book. It is loaded with hundreds of photos and great ideas for container gardening. This book was well worth the price!

I have to admit Container Gardening is one of my weak spots (Mrs. Stoney knows this, I think that’s why I got the book). I’m very excited to have a little help with growing in containers. We do okay most years with flowers in containers but I have always struggled with herbs and veggies. So I’m hoping the things I’m learning from this book will help!

I’ve been all the way through the book already and it has really got me inspired to add a bunch of new containers to our yard and garden this year.

I’ve got all kinds of plans you will get to see happen this year, starting with dressing up this front doorway to our house! You can see from the photo that I’m only moderately successful even with flowers!

All this thinking about containers got me searching the web for more ideas. I also asked all my blogging buddies to pass along some of there best container gardening posts. Below are some links to all of those great posts I found about growing both flowers and veggies in containers:
