I lost out on a spot on a community garden, so I was determined to have something on my patio last year. So I tried grape and heirloom tomato, and zucchini that I got from Capers.

The grape tomatoes were bountiful, I got 2 heirlooms, and 1 small zucchini. I later found out that zucchinis need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight, which I do not get.

So for xmas my boyfriend got me the Bountiful Container and some seeds (brussel sprouts, weird and wonderful peppers, etc).

I was at Lee Valley today and found this book which had tons of useful information on container gardening.

I also bought this propagator while at Lee Valley to get the seeds germinating. Hopefully by the time they are seedlings, I'll know what that self-watering container thing is about!
