YOU CAN ALWAYS GROW IN CONTAINERS

It's December 24th, and cold and snowy out there in many states. If you thought you didn't have enough space to grow vegetables, or it's too cold out, you should know that everyone can grow in containers, even if you live in an apartment or condo. You can also start some vegetables in containers now, and have vegetables for salads or as additions to your meals doring the Winter months.

There are several types of containers that can be used for growing vegetables including polyethylene plastic bags, clay pots, plastic pots, metallic pots, milk jugs, ice cream containers, bushel baskets, barrels, and planter boxes. It is important to use containers that can accommodate roots of the vegetables you want to grow as the vegetables vary in sizes and rooting depths.

The container needs to have good drainage, and should not contain chemicals that are toxic to plants and human beings. Most vegetables grown in backyard gardens can be grown in containers, although a container's diameter and depth needs to be considered when selecting what vegetables to grow. The plant density (number of vegetable plants per container) depends on individual plant space requirements, and rooting depth.

It's best to use one of the potting mixes in vegetable container gardening as they are light, disease-free, w**d seed-free, and have good drainage. Some potting mixes have pre-mixed plant nutrients, so read the information on the label about how long the pre-mix will feed your plants before you start applying fertilizers. You can also make your own two bushels of potting mix using the following recipe: Shredded sphagnum peat moss (1 bushel), Vermiculite (1 bushel), Ground limestone (1¼ cups), Phosphate fertilizer either 0-20-0 (½ cup) or 0-45-0 (¼ cup), Slow release granular fertilizer such as 5-10-5 (1 cup).

Container-grown plants require more frequent fertilization than field-grown plants because of the limited space within the container for drawing nutrients. Fertilizers can be mixed with the soil mix before filling the container and can also be applied as a nutrient solution. Nutrient solutions can be made by dissolving soluble fertilizer such as 10-20-10, 12-24-12 or 8-16-8 in water following label directions. The nutrient solution is applied once a day when the plants are watered. How often you water may vary with vegetables, but once a day is adequate.

Leach the unused fertilizer nutrients from the potting mix once a week by applying tap water only. It is also very important to water occasionally with a nutrient solution containing micro nutrients such as copper, zinc, boron, manganese, and iron and follow label directions in order to give plants the right amounts.

Plants grown in containers need frequent watering as the containers dry fast. Watering on a daily basis is necessary to provide adequate moisture for plant growth. Apply enough water to reach the bottom of the container. Allow the excess to drain out through drainage holes. Avoid wetting the leaves when watering as this will encourage development of foliar disease. Try not to allow the containers to dry out completely between watering as this will lead to flower and fruit drop. Do not over water the plants as the container will be waterlogged and the roots will lack oxygen leading to poor growth and eventually, perhaps, the plant's death.

The size of the containers needed will depend a lot on the vegetable or herbs you are planting. Most Herbs can be planted in 1/2 - 1 gallon containers. Cabbages, Cucumbers, Green Beans, Leaf Lettuce, Spinach, Swiss Chard, and Cherry Tomatoes can be planted in 1 gallon containers. Beets, Carrots, Eggplants, Peppers and Radishes need 2 gallon containers. Your regular tomatoes will need 3 gallon containers. (great info from the University of Illinois Extension)

"Tuesday's Tips"
Understanding Date Labels

A friend of mine posted this the other day and I thought I would share it with y'all. Don and I have been going through my kitchen pantry, organizing and checking dates and I discovered I had a good many 2022 items that I need to put to use. It's all canned food so I am comfortable still using it and refuse to throw away. I've even got some earlier 2023 goods, but will use them when needed.

I'll never forget helping Papa clean out the kitchen cupboards after Nannie Polly went to the nursing home. Papa wasn't much of a shopper so he wanted to know what he had to work with. He learned from Nannie how to make her biscuits and made them just about every morning for himself...I know hoping one of us would stop by to eat breakfast with him. In the process of cleaning things out we discovered cans of food that were more than just a few years old, mostly canned meat sticks, salmon and some soups. Papa refused to throw them out and ate them right up making room for the new groceries we would bring him. He did fine eating all that expired food, but I'm sure there were not as many unknown ingredients in them back then. We ate on Nannies home canned goods years after they were canned and Papa enjoyed just heating them up to eat as well, he didn't have to think about how to use them, Nannie had done that for him in how she canned things.

So, check your labels but don't feel like you have to throw it away.
