Enjoy a Vegetable Container Garden
Grow a feast even in a small space with containers of vegetables, herbs and edible flowers.
Gourmet goodies
Edible flowers add color both to your containers and your meals. 'Bon Bon Mix' Calendula in the back container blooms in front of 'Rainbow' Swiss chard. At right, 'Starfire' marigold hovers above the shiny, round leaves of 'Salad Delight' red cabbage. In front, 'Patio' tomato and 'Summerlong' basil round out the edibles in this group of containers.
Tip: Large, deep-rooted plants -- bush cucumbers, tomatoes or beans -- do best in soil at least 12 inches deep. Shallow-rooted plants, such as lettuces, radishes, and edible flowers, get by in soil 4 inches deep.
