Garden description: All our gardening is done in pots, as we are renting and our landlords really don't want their lawn dug up for vegetables! Container gardening has advantages and disadvantages. It makes it easy to control weeds and pests, easy to harvest just by walking out on the deck, and you can move pots around according to what you are growing at the time, and what kind of conditions each plant needs. The biggest disadvantage is keeping them watered in summer. Small terracotta pots in particular dry out very fast, so it's not practical to keep them going all summer but in spring they are ideal.
