Growing Plants in Containers:
Vegetables, fruits, Flowers and Herbs

Container Gardening is more popular now than ever. People are coming up with more and more innovative ways of growing food and plants that makes them happy. I have grown quite a few things in containers from vegetables, herbs, lemons and figs indoors. I planted the fig outside and it didn't come back the next year. I guess Zone6 is too cold for purple figs. They were so sweet. I will try it again some day.
