1 SOUTHERN CONTAINER GARDENING You can create a garden in any space!

2 Here in the South, we have those one or two pots by our front door. We feel like they say welcome to our home. How many times have we worried when having people over that our pots need to look pretty?

3 Today we are going to show you how in addition to those two pots at your front door, you can grow almost anything in a pot. We will learn how to change your space from looking like this:

4 To looking like this! The good news is that you can create gardens in containers and grow herbs, flowers, vegetables, shrubs and even fruit trees.

5 Why would you want to garden in containers instead of the ground? It s a lot easier to dig a hole in a pot than in the ground It s fun to be able to enjoy your plants close to your living space Easier to garden in pots if you have disabilities Many plants grow better in pots More flexibility to customize your space by moving pots around and elevating plants Can have plants anywhere you want hanging from a wall or beam, under your windows or on top of pavement

6 Sun Exposure will determine the type of plants for your container Full Shade: Less than 3 hours of sun a day - Ferns, hostas, impatiens, caladiums Part shade: 3-6 hours of sun per day, but no midday sun Part sun: 3-6 hours of direct sun per day, afternoon sun is more intense and hotter than morning sun Full sun: 6 hours of direct sun per day - Great for growing vegetables, many blooming plants and succulents

7 When it comes to choosing a container there are many options and size does matter the bigger the better! A larger container will hold more soil so your plant will have more room to grow and will not dry out as fast.

8 So now that you have determined your sun exposure and have selected a pot, let s cover some basics. Your pot must have drain holes!!! If not, drill some in the bottom of your pot. You can place an inch of crushed gravel in the bottom of your pot to help drainage or raise your pot on feet. Your pot has to have

9 Now we need to fill the pot with the correct soil and fertilizer: Ideal soil should be loose and porous Use a purchased potting mix for your container planting. Most bagged mixtures have a neutral ph and are usually ready to use right out of the bag. You do not have to use new potting soil every time you plant. Just loosen it up and make sure it isn t too full of roots. You can customize your potting mix to your selection of plants. Example: Succulents: grow better in a sandy mixture Add in some extended release fertilizer at the time of planting and most last for about three months

10 Now the fun begins! Let s pick some plants based on the type of sun you have. Here are some examples of some easy plants you can grow in sun. Also, remember the filler, spiller thriller recipe but feel free to mix it up!

11 Herbs basil, parsley, mint, chives, thyme, mint, cilantro, sage, oregano, rosemary Hardiest of all plants Relatively few insect and disease problems They will boost your confidence as a gardener Will add nutritional benefits to many dishes Allow you to cut back on salt when cooking

12 Begonias, Spikes, Creeping Jenny, Silver Dichondra

13 Lantana drought tolerant and will still look great in August!

14 Petunias, Million Bells, Geraniums, Verbena, Purple Fountain Grass

15 Coleus one of the easiest plants to grow with foliage as pretty as blooms.

16 Purslane and Portulaca extremely heat and drought tolerant but flowers do close up at the end of the day.

17 Succulents are easy to care for container plants.

18 Perennials can also be used in pots. You may want to look for selections that bloom most of the summer. Hostas, lavender, rosemary, pincushion flower all work well.

19 Some of my favorite perennials in pots are elephant ears. They come in different colors and can be under planted or used by themselves.

20 Tomatoes - are easy to grow in containers and there are many container options. Just be sure they get consistent water and proper fertilizer.

21 Lettuce, kale, squash and peppers

22 Citrus trees try Meyer Lemon or Satsuma but remember to cover them in the event of frost.

23 Olive trees, palms and dwarf blueberry bushes grow well in large pots.

24 You can also mix herbs and flowers in the same pot.

25 If you have shade, there are plenty of options as well. Try Caladiums, Ferns, Rex Begonia, Heuchera, Ivy and Begonias.

26 Coleus, New Guinea Impatiens, Reiger Begonias and even Hydrangeas.

36 Vegetable Container Gardening

37 BACK DOOR KITCHEN GARDEN Convenience Helps control pests Helps control diseases Takes less time and effort than a normal garden

38 Pick your container

39 Nursery Pots

40 Potting Soil

41 Location Vegetables need about 6 hours of full direct sun Easy accessibility to your back door

42 Critter Patrol

43 Irrigation Check soil for moisture every day Water the soil only Water until it drains out of the bottom Early am is best May also need water in the afternoon during Summer

44 Drip Irrigation Water goes only where you want it to Less evaporation Less water use Timers can be programmed to water whenever you want

45 Companion Planting Group plants that benefit each other It maximizes space And helps control pests and diseases

46 Marigolds and tomatoes Marigold root chemical kills nematodes Marigolds also deter tomato hornworms, aphids, Mexican bean beetles, squash bugs, thrips and whiteflies.

47 Herbs and Vegetables Chives repel aphids and spider mites Basil improves growth and flavor of tomatoes and repels flies and mosquitoes Rosemary, Oregano, Thyme, Lavender, and Sage repel many insects Mint repels but also invasive

48 Nasturtiums Known as the poster child of companion planting Release chemical that repels predacious insects Repel whiteflies, squash bugs, aphids, many beetles and cabbage loopers

49 FLOWERS! They are pretty They attract pollinators

50 Benefits of Growing Vegetables in Containers Homegrown are fresher and better Harvest when they are fully ripe Get maximum nutritional benefits when you eat them.

51 Some planting tips- It is a good idea to water the plant before you plant it Press the sides of the nursery pot to loosen and release the plant Look at the roots and loosen as needed. Press soil gently but firmly around plants.

52 A little maintenance is required to keep plants looking their best. Water thoroughly (until water drains out the bottom of the pot) as needed. Apply a water soluable fertilizer every two weeks Dead head old blooms Trim back as needed Inspect for any insects and spray if needed

53 Enjoy your plants and don t worry if a plant dies. Also feel free to switch out a plant that isn t working. The saying goes that if you aren t killing plants, you aren t gardening! If you have any questions a great resource is the Alabama Cooperative Extension Service at www. aces.edu. You can also call the Master Gardener Plant Helpline at GROW (4769).
