I grew all kinds of peppers in 5 gallon buckets this year. It has been quite the journey, especially in this past hot summer. I live in Tucson, and it was 101 degrees just yesterday. Thank you for all your help and knowledge. I have what I consider a small micro farm, (I have a little flock of chickens). There is nothing like eating food I've grown, and, eating eggs that my lovely little hens have produced. Angela, you have been such a big blessing to me. I love to think that we are all Growing in The Garden, together.🌻
If you are drilling holes in a container, don't drill them in the bottom, drill them in the sides at the top of the bottom layer of course sand /gravel, form a well /dip in the middle, cover with a permeable barrier (e.g. weed matting, shade cloth...), then fill with your usual potting mix. There, you have a self-watering container that is less prone to over-drying
All my planting is now done in containers. I am 73 and can't bend down to deal with planting in ground. Besides the gardens have all been turned into pastures for my two old horses. Have containers of all sizes like you. Am growing veggies like kale, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, still growing some peppers and Japanese eggplant, lettuces along with different flowers. We'll see how the Winter Garden works out since my summer garden was a total disaster with the heat and no rain, plus I've been ill since January and just healing now! I love fall and winter gardening. Thanks for all the help. I grow in Glendale AZ also zone 9b
All my veggies are now grown in containers. I have the most success that way. I live in Glendale Arizona Zone 9B and also grow a number of flowers in pots. Winter is my growing season, as I myself, hibernate in the summer. Love your channel!!!
The lighting and photography in this video are beautiful! Would love to continue growing in pots here but they freeze solid. Zone 5b/6a. I'll remove the plants and half of the soil then store in-place, covered with heavy plastic. The 5 gallon grow bags will become insulation when placed next to cold frames. Yay God!
thx Angela....we enjoy your content so much....up north in GValley we use a lot of Sub terrain watering 5 gal buckets and a few ollas per your content....thx again!
Hi Angela from NE Texas. Thank you sooooo much for the correct pronunciation of especially. Seems like everyone these days wants to put in an extra "C". Chalk on a blackboard for this 68 yr. old. Thanks for showing your garden.
Based on a previous video of yours I added OLLAS. Good idea. I put them in all of my containers. Thank you. Central Florida 9b. Today it’s in the low 80’s.
I'm so glad i found your channel! I'm new to gardening and I'm in Mesa. I currently have an accidental watermelon plant in ground in my yard with 2 nice melons on it, and several potato plants that are taking off in containers!
Well Angela. I’m in Portland Oregon. Zone 8B. My growing season is coming to an end. I just pulled my pepper plants from the ground and placed them in plastic containers. I will put them in the garage for the winter and see if they live. I will use mulch to winter in the rest of my garden. I’m working on making a music video to show the whole process. Next year I plan to set up lots of containers and start a container garden. Thanks for sharing your video tips. Have a great weekend. All my best.
I live in north Phoenix and will be starting my garden for a courtyard. Ive been in the planning stages forever trying to pick the right plants and doing it all on a budget. This time of year the courtyard doesn’t get much sun but gets full sun in the summer. Im mostly placing my plants in containers. I figure it will take a few years to get it to where I want it. Thank you for the helpful tips on gardening in Phoenix, the heat can be a challenge.
I've got half my garden in containers, with the other half in raised beds because my native soil is pretty much pure clay. Some things did much better than others. I'm still getting to know my garden and its light patterns, which is one reason I'm favoring containers so much. This is all good information; thank you very much for posting! Hello from Houston Tx.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. Excellent timely information. I just bought two grape vines replanted them to a container2X as large BUT after this i wonder if i should repot to something 3x the original container. I also just started a chamomile plant from seed. Part of my herbal teas garden. I watched this video twice and added it to my gardening playlist.
I just planted some herbs in containers. I am in the PNW, specifically Vancouver Island 🇨🇦. We have lots of deer in the area that like to visit and a fence is not an option so I’m trying a mesh covering over the pots. Wish me luck. 😁
I live near Patagonia Lake State Park in SE Arizona and my ground is mostly rock so can't do in-ground gardening. I use lots of containers as well as raised beds. Learned lots in your video and will be doing things a little different this coming spring. I like the idea of using the Ollas in your containers.
I would really love to see some content about your pest control in the garden. Humane options preferred, but am willing to hear necessary fixes to prevent disasterous infestations. Im managing to fight the bugs just fine, but critters are proving a challenge. Right now everything is covered in hardware cloth.
Hi Angela, I love your content and have learned so much from your videos! I've bought the raised bed soil from Arizona Worm farm several times over the last 6 months and noticed that they aren't using vermiculite in the mixture any more, but perlite instead. Just wanted to mention it since your text in the video still mentions vermiculite.
We only have 3 raised beds, but we plan to use both containers and flat soil planting for next spring. I tried putting pollinators down the middle of each bed but they quickly got over shaded. I currently only have hibiscus in containers at this time and not finding much on how to protect them over the winter. Hoping to have a small kit greenhouse ready by the end of the month. Even though we are 9b we are at higher altitude than Mesa with an average first frost of October 26.
How often do you water your containers that don't have ollas? Thank you so much for your videos Angela & we LOVE our Growing in the Garden Calendar, it's beautiful!
This is so beneficial to us, thank you so much for sharing your garden with us. We are following your advice in refreshing the containers before replanting the vegetables and herbs, sooo looking forward to the cooler temps. A quick question: when (if) are you planning to take down your shade cloths?
The big storm we had several weeks ago helped take them down for me, so mine have been down for a while. Normally I take them down once temperatures are consistently below 90°F to 100°F. Thanks for your support!
Thanks for all the wonderful content you're creating. Sweet Tomato Vine Homestead not sure if you've seen her TH-cam channel you both grow food beautiful both in containers and raised beds.
Hi Angela , love your videos, can't wait to start my garden. Getting soil from the Worm farm. Where is a good place to get budget friendly trellis' that are sturdy to the wind. Husband put up wire with post and they blow over in the wind. Thank you
Im so surprised how much room the hoya takes and am surprised there is enough room for the roots of the plants. WHere do you get your galvanized buckets?
Hello! Love your garden! I’m also in Mesa, just extreme east and south of the 60 (on the AJ border). Do you have issues with birds or rodents? My corn was destroyed by mice this year. Rats, Rock squirrels, and ground squirrels munch all of my tender greens and steal my young cucumbers and eggplants. I use some traps but am struggling to keep them at bay. Thoughts/suggestions?
That's so frustrating. Just did an article about trapping gophers growinginthegarden.com/5-steps-to-get-rid-of-gophers-in-the-garden/ on my blog. Barrier methods can help. It can be a real struggle for sure.
@@GrowingInTheGarden thank you so much! We back an srp easement so all the wildlife both good and obnoxious can come into my yard at will. Ha ha. Benefits and drawbacks of the quiet I guess. Thanks again!
Lovely video ! I am a first year container grower and now im onto preparing for my second year! My random request is , is there any tips for chamomile growing from seed cause I've had such a hard time having any seeds rooting!
I love your videos, some much good informative information. I want to have more, so little by little I'm trying new things here in Oklahoma. BTW I love your overalls, would you mind sharing with me where you got them.
This is such helpful information!! Thank you for sharing your expertise! I’ve seen ollas at Summer winds and wondered how well they worked. Does the AZ worm farm ship or do they sell their soil at a local store (I’m in NW Phx)? Thanks again for all the information!!
Off subject...what do think of your plant labels? Do you have a video on them? I’ve been looking for some that last. Thanks for all the great information in this video. Where can I find the terra-cotta watering vessel? Your garden is beautiful btw!!!
I use these oyas from Growoya growoya.com/growing Use code Growing for a discount . These are the plant labels I use: amzn.to/46C4nat and you can learn more about them in this blogpost: growinginthegarden.com/the-best-way-to-label-garden-plants/
I just wish those olla things weren't so expensive. A poor folk way is using a milk jug with a super small hole for slow drip, put it where the roots are and just fill as needed, thats what I do everyday in the summer. You could probably spray paint them to make them blend in until the growth hides them too.
I have used the wine bottle cooler containers from Hobby Lobby in the terra-cotta area. Then I also get the terra-cotta saucers that will cover top.. in same area of store. I wait until they r on sale online and then run to store to inspect well. I tested them to b sure that moisture does come through - not all terra cotta looking things do…some are another material painted to look like T C. Has worked for me for a couple years - in one area I noticed lid kept getting pushed off (small animal of some type) so I put a small rock on it. So so much less$$.
It really peeves me, when you have to be a 'member', to watch something. Don't forget, if people didn't watch your video's in the first place, you wouldn't have made any money from the adds. Presenters are becoming greedy.

She's such a teacher.
All of my garden is containers. You picked the right subject for me for the fall.
Same here!

We are on opposite schedules. It's amazing how different other parts of the country are from one another.
Thanks! I use several 5 gallon containers for plants.
I live in an apartment so I can only grow in containers. I definitely spend most of my time keeping up with the watering!!
Thank you so much for these tips. I purchased my first couple of Ollas and cannot wait to use them.
New subscriber and newbie of veggie gardening. Thank you for the plethora of information to ensure I get the best I can. Happy gardening!

Several good videos on how to DIY with terra cotta pots and silicone sealer. Fun project and works well
Thank you for all the info and tips. I’ve never seen ollas before. I am definitely going to look into them.

How beautiful everything is going to look next year way to plan for the future
Thank you for another fabulous, informative video!
As someone with a smaller lawn and less space this is great. Thank you for the info!
Love the newer video style! Yet all your videos are so well done!

useful tips
Great information on container gardening. Love the Ollas. Can you share where I can find the soil scooper you are using? Love it!
This is similar to the soil scooper I use: amzn.to/45RI2Vy
Idea...my hubby cut a scoop from a plastic gallon milk jug using the handle. Works well and recycled!

what about using plastic pots that I have from plants I bought at nursery and planted.
Sure. As long as they have drainage holes.
thanks for quick response. Its a good way to recycle-reuse. But you dont use them I see. @@GrowingInTheGarden
How often do you water your containers that don't have ollas? Thank you so much for your videos Angela & we LOVE our Growing in the Garden Calendar, it's beautiful!

Hola Angela where can I buy the ollas? Por fabor me puedes desir..tk I love your videos
I use these oyas from Growoya growoya.com/growing

The ollas are so expensive if on a tight Budget. The idea is great but what other cheaper alternatives can be used?
You can make your own ollas from terracotta pots!

My random request is , is there any tips for chamomile growing from seed cause I've had such a hard time having any seeds rooting!
Be patient - can take a while to germinate - the seeds are tiny. Don't use a heat mat in the summer. Use a humidity dome.
I love your videos, some much good informative information. I want to have more, so little by little I'm trying new things here in Oklahoma. BTW I love your overalls, would you mind sharing with me where you got them.
I'm Melissa, my user for some reason doesn't show that.
Hi Melissa they are from Duluth Trading Company
How do you keep the bunnies and other critters from eating your plants?
I don't get a lot of critters. I do have issues with birds and occasional rats. Barrier methods and rat traps seem to be the most effective.
Great video, Angela. How long, on average, does the water last in the ollas before you need to fill them up again?
During the summer once every 1-2 days. In the winter about once a week.
This is such helpful information!! Thank you for sharing your expertise!
I’ve seen ollas at Summer winds and wondered how well they worked. Does the AZ worm farm ship or do they sell their soil at a local store (I’m in NW Phx)?

hi :)
Is your climate next to a south France Climate ? I'm in the Var, it's near St Tropez and Cannes. It's really dry in Summer !
It's possible. We are very hot and dry in summer up to 48°C
I just wish those olla things weren't so expensive. A poor folk way is using a milk jug with a super small hole for slow drip, put it where the roots are and just fill as needed, thats what I do everyday in the summer.

Spray paint is toxic.
If your container has rush is that bad because is rush your plant eat in than rush is not good for u yes or no
rush?
