For a couple of years I have been experimenting with growing vegetables in various containers in city settings, on balconies and terraces. I was using mostly grow bags, and some traditional pots. Recently I have tried to use five gallon buckets with very good results. What I have also noticed is that more and more seed shops start to offer specific varieties for container gardening. Initially it's been tomatoes and peppers, and herbs, now we have cucumbers, zucchinis, short root carrots, you name it.
I would like to ask about varieties that you have grown in containers, that performed extremely well and were giving high yield.
For me, I can recommend:
- basil Emerald Tower (small grow bags)
- Hundreds and Thousands tomato (hanging baskets, 5 gal. buckets)
- Dancing Green Fingers tomato (hanging baskets, 5 gal. buckets)
- Tiny Tim tomato (small grow bags and pots)
- Fish hot pepper (small grow bags and pots)
- Menavka sweet pepper (small grow bags and pots)
- Little Marvel peas (small grow bags and pots)
- Bush Baby zucchini (5 gal bucket)
- Bush Champion cucumber (grow bag)
- Chantenay short rooted carrots (5 gal bucket)
Can you share your experience below?
