As most of you know, we're living in a rent house and although we're praying to find a permanent home in the country within the next year, I really don't want to wait to start having a garden. So I know my alternative is to do container gardening, and I made a go at it this last year with tomatos and strawberries and did just pitiful.

I was hoping that some of you with a little more experience might be able to help me so that I might be able to have a better container garden next year. I don't want to do a whole lot, but would like to try tomatos and strawberries and possibly green beans, okra, and anything else that might grow well in containers. I'm also wanting to try and grow herbs, but I may try those indoors if I can.

I've winterized my strawberry plant in hopes of it coming back this year. I have it in a old wash basin. Here's a picture.

Also is there anything I can do now to have a better start to next year? I'm going to be stocking up on pots and barrels when we can, but is there anything else?
Thanks so much!
Blessings,
Sara

I wish I had some words of wisdom for you on container gardening but I'm looking for info on that as well! Thanks for the comment on my blog, I added you as my friend b/c it looks like we have a lot in common! I have noted you for the pattern drawing as well. Spread the word to your sewing friends too!
