It's time to Veg Out

Wait! The gardening season hasn't really even begun and it is already time to veg out? Yes! It's time to start thinking "vegetables." We're here to help. Let's get growing.

 

If your only place to garden is on a patio, balcony or deck, you're going to want to try the EarthBox gardens. The traditional EarthBox self-watering container (available in several colors) is one of the best-loved, easiest to use self-watering container gardening systems. You can also purchase a veneer kit and trellis (good for growing tomatoes, beans, and cucumbers).
