Every generation of gardener has its own fair share of container or patio vegetable gardening. I admire the way you create a productive garden. I guess patio gardening are great for those beginning to start a garden because this is very easy and manageable.
Hi, I'm a beginner gardener. My children and I are planting Tomatoes, scallions and Burpee pea. My scallions were planted in an old bin that held my children's markers in it and the Tomatoes came in a Pod like situation and were planted in an empty milk jug (plastic) but the peas were planted in froyo's medium size cups. My only question would be… once the peas start to grow can i leave them in the cup or should i place them in something bigger? And how much room does tomatoes need to grow properly?
That's not good putting in those bricks let alone 3 of them… Yeah it would save on potting mix, but the tomato's roots will be sreaming for the room.. They get root bound as it is and you want it root bound quicker? Geez…And . As if you need them for weigh from wind.. the weight of the soil and water will keep them down. geez
Hello Mark Putting building bricks in the bottom of your pots will help with stability but using less compost will mean the pot drying out quicker. I suppose its a trade off that you make. I live in a much cooler climate so tomatoes and peppers can only be grown in a greenhouse or polytunnel. I have had some good results in pots on my patio with potatoes, carrots, leeks and beans. I have attached a link should you be interested. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TK–IyeT8JQ

Thank you love this video
Glad you like it – tell your friends!
Im not sure you'd get away with planting a pepper and a tomato in a 5 gal bucket with 3 bricks in it…have you ever done it? what were the results?
Yes, and it worked well. only concern with container gardening is keeping the plants watered but not too wet and not letting them dry out!

If you want a substantial amount of tomatoes you need a very large pot. This will only give you about a pound of tomatoes. Not worth the effort.
great video!
