The Lazy Gardener Garden Tip ~ Container Planting




Have a small vegetable garden but would like to plant more?



Use huge pots to expand your garden!








I planted peas in this huge pot and put a tomato cage on top for them to climb.


Yeah, that pot is ugly, but it was free!


This is functional gardening...not pretty!






Just starting to sprout.







The plan is for the peas to climb this tomato cage.







When the peas are done in June, I'll plant potatoes in this pot.


Two crops in one pot!








Happy Gardening!
