Provide fresh food for yourself and your family even during the cooler months with an edible container garden…

It’s getting a bit late for planting in most areas of the country, but if you can’t stand the thought of going through the winter without fresh, homegrown food, an edible container garden may be a good option!

Some crops will grow quite well in containers, and when it gets cold, you may be able to move them indoors or inside a screened in porch to give them some protection and extend their productivity.

You can grow many different types of vegetables, fruits, and herbs in pots, but some do better than others. This quick video shares 5 delicious, easy-to-grow crops that are well-suited for container growing. (Keep in mind that leafy green crops such as herbs and salad greens will be best for the cooler months when there is less sunlight.)
