Growing vegetables in pots (or other containers) is a perfect solution for those whose garden is lack of room. If you live in an apartment but still love planting vegetables, herbs, and flowers, this also helps. It not only brings you clean vegetables for daily cooking but also makes your house “greener” and more stylish. No one could resist living in an environment-friendly space.
And, here are 17 best veggies to grow in pots I would like to share to you guys. You can start your DIY project with seeds, seedling, cuttings, or even scraps. Our post about veggies to replant with kitchen’s scraps has raised interest of many. Just give it a look if you like. By planting some vegetables at a time, you can make a raised bed garden of your own. As a gardening lover, I really love this growing method and also give it a try all year round. Hope you also prefer it!
