I have to container garden as there is a large deer population in my area. Fortunately, I have a large deck. I also got a late start this year.
I have 3 Earthboxes. (These are awesome. They are not cheap, and they are difficult to move once fully loaded with soil, but plants really thrive in them.)
Earthbox #1: 2 tomato plants. A critter (possibly a squirrel) got to one plant and it died, but the other has set flowers.
Earthbox #2: 3 cucumber plants. They all have flowers and I see some fruit developing.
Earthbox #3: Basil, oregano, catnip, stevia, and an accidental cucumber that was supposed to go into Earthbox #2. All are thriving. The catnip and stevia are experiments. My cat loves catnip, and the stevia is a sweetener experiment (I currently use sucralose).
Planters: Lots of chives, a cherry tomato plant, and some rosemary.
The hydrangea in front of my house was looking beautiful, but sadly the heat has taken its toll. Spring flowers (forsythia, azalea, rhododendron) were lovely, though.
