Do you have any ideas for a container garden that you would like to share? Any experience, good or bad? I live in Northern California, just outside of Sacramento and I am considering a SMALL container garden, preferably up high enough so I do not have to bend. What would you suggest I should start with, what is successful? tomatoes, lettuce, onions, ? I would love your input for inspiration. Looking forward to hearing from you!
We have our chickens, 5 chickens and faithfully, 5 eggs a day. It is still a thrill when we go out to collect ... big event!! You can tell we are definitely "country folks" ....

Hi! I strongly suggest CHERRY tomatoes. Full-size tomatoes are risky in a pot since they can dry out in a flash... cherries are more suitable for a container and they love to get a little dry. You will be overflowing with cute sweet lil' tomatoes!! I like to start them with some "Johnnie jump-ups" in there too to make the pot more festive. Then when the Johnnies fade, the toms are coming on and you'll just love it! -- Bonnie
