I'm a renter and i plant in containers so if i move..they go with me. I've planted in half wine barrels and some in 5 gallon buckets. All have holes drilled for drainage and various sized rocks in the bottom to help with drainage. Is there something special i can do to help with Fall gardening in containers? Or to help spring crops make it through winter to grow in Spring? ANY Container growing advice is greatly appreciated!

I moved from a house to an apartment, and I'm trying my first at Balcony Gardening. I gardened every year at my home, but growing on a balcony is a little different. I love baby carrots, lettuce, and spinach; and I love collard greens. So, I'm going to give this a try here in probably late July. I live in Kansas, and it does get HOT here. What a great way to make extend the joy of the growing season from Spring! Fall can be a little sad at times because things are dying preparing for the next year, but this advice is great! Thank you!

Traditionally manures were buried under the soil in a cold frame or box and allowed to heat up to provide warmth. The height just needs to be high enough to accommodate the plants that you intend to grow inside the hot bed.

I plan to give some of them a try this coming fall and maybe even build a hot bed. What are some ways to build a inexpensive hot bed and what’s a good height for one to be?

After clearing the summer veggie debris in early September, we retilled and fertilized, then planted bush green beans, sugar snap peas, broccoli sets, spinach, romaine lettuce, and turnips. The peas were declared a failure after two plantings didn't germinate, and only about one third of the romaine seeds emerged, but broccoli, turnips, spinach, and green beans (now blooming) are doing well. I don't see heads forming yet on the broccoli, but I'm hopeful. Bloom clusters on the beans promise a crop still to form. We've been very rainy and cool for this time of year in mid Missouri, but my rows of green veggies in October are gorgeous to me. I hope we'll be eating fresh green beans, spinach, and broccoli for Thanksgiving this year. ~G We’re enjoying our first fall garden.

Fall gardening can be just as enjoyable as starting your vegetable garden at the beginning of Spring and Summer. The cool Fall mornings are very comfortable and when the foliage of the trees start turning bright colors along with the growth of your fall garden vegetables it can make for a very relaxing experience.
