3 food crops that are best to grow in pots! 

Potatoes in a pot is one of THE BEST ideas for several reasons: you can relocate as/if needed, it keeps the underground critters from devouring your root veggies, and (in my opinion) they are so much EASIER to harvest than digging around in the ground!!! I know some folks dig and fetch OR spread a tarp and do the BIG DUMP, then fetch potatoes. Your BACK will appreciate you dumping the taters into a large cart/wheelbarrow (or whatever you choose), then...grabbing a chair. Have a seat and have fun pulling out your harvest and throwing them back into the empty container they grew in. Then, on to storage! Re-use the soil the potatoes were in. Happy harvesting! Similar thought on container strawberries. They can be moved to a 'safe' location so the birds/squirrels, etc. won't think you have an all-you-can-eat buffet!

Great video! I grew potatoes once in the ground, definitely prefer in containers.

I hadn't thought about growing my strawberries in a pot. But, given the heat recently I'm a lot more open to the idea of being able to move them. Thanks!!

If I may add to the discussion, the pot vegetables here are: lettuce, radishes and dwarf tomatoes (Fred's tie dye and numbat, specifically). Yum!

I love growing my potatoes in a pot, makes harvesting so much easier. I just flip the pot over into a kiddy pool, and search through the soil for the potatoes (kinda like a treasure hunt 😂) Also Marjoram, planted it in the garden once, now half of my yard is Marjoram, great smelling ground cover though. Just found your channel today, best wishes from Quebec Canada 🇨🇦

I grow lots of veggies in pots. Potatoes, tomatoes, okra, zukes, figs blackberries, and my favorite strawberries. I use the SIP system for my pots, it gets beauty hot here in west Texas. OH! Sunflowers. I enjoyed the accent. I'm an Okie by birth here in the US and our accent sometimes confuses others around the world.

Hi, you are so right. I’m in Perth & I grow chillies, Swiss chard, strawberries, blueberries & oregano -( or it will spread everywhere ) all in pots so I can also move them once summer starts. It hit 46 here in our suburb of Clarkson this year. 🥵 Even though chillies like the sun, mine started getting burn marks so they only get morning sun in summer.

Hey Jack you are such an inspiration to me , I just have here a Moringa ,Siling Labuyo Upland Kangkong and eggplant in our backyard and I was inspired by you to plant more specifically vegetables that can grow grow in the pot like brocolli ,okra , tomato and spinach soon

Great Idea! It's good to be able to move plants especially in hot Texas sun !

Nice quick informative stuff, love it. I'm a 1st year grower, all containers. +1 on the potatoes, I'm going to start a two-bucket rotation every month in the food safe paint buckets, not the black "5 gallon" ones. I haven't harvested mine yet, but can already tell it's better than television. Tower gardening is something I've gotten into and it looks surprisingly promising. Thanks for sharing!

I grow all my veg in pots. It's easier, cleaner and safer! :⁠-⁠)

I keep me gold in a pot 🌈🤣 Seriously though, raspberries are an unstoppable weed where I'm at as well.

Look into Sunchoke, Ginger and turmeric as well. I find these do better for me in pot's than in the ground. If you haven't tried Amaranth either yet, I suggest you do. It's a Spinach type use case but also produces a wonderful pseudo-grain that is delish.

I always grow mint and basil in a pot as they seem to spread and take over the garden. I also grow my strawberries and peppers in pots as well as sweet potatoes and regular potatoes

❤❤Thanks for sharing this list. Got yourself a new sub for the raspberry tip💚💚

Mint always in a pot - takes over the garden otherwise

Yep, Melbourne here, I grow potatoes in any big empty pot I have. (cutoffs from supermarket potatoes.) Native raspberries are only good up North, aren't they? I guess my main "only in pots" plants would be anything in the mint family. Nice video. Cheers!

New sub here and great video, I grow potatoes in pots as I tend to,stab them and it’s a better way to harvest what I need without leaving some behind 😅. I grow strawberries 🍓 and raspberries in pots too 👍. Have an awesome week, happy 4th of July, Ali 🌞🇨🇦

If you pot plant potatoes also try onions. Like potatoes you can never get all the seed stock out of an in ground garden if you want to grow something else in their place. If you live in a hot climate it’s best to make sure the pots have something that absorbs the heat to block direct sunlight and prevent the soil from getting too hot. Straw works fairly well.

👍👍👍

Good Day ! My blueberries are all grown in pots because of the lower ph. Soil . I’ve tried a few times to grow potatoes in big pots in Melbourne , Australia It did not work to hot , they dry out to fast . Only in the ground

OK, I'm in the UK so my only problem with strawberries is stopping them spreading.

What's the third one on the list again?

I rent and I'm disabled.my landlord lets me plant in pots around my apt house.i have tomato.jaholpino.rasberry.strawberrys.in pots.and I planted lettuce and carrots in the flower bed behind the house.

Are you from New Zealand ?

Cabbage in 3 gal. pots, peppers 5 gal. celery 1 gal. tomatoes 5 or 6 gal. cucumbers 5 or 6 gal. sweet potatoes 10 gal. bags. I love containers, easy to weed, easy to water.

I grow my bamboo plants in the pot because I don’t want to see the bamboo plants take over the whole garden

Oak tree in a pot.

Wrong on all accounts. Potatoes need soil and lots of root space and room for the tubers. Potatoes dobt do well in pots at all. If you don't have more room than that don't grow them at all . Strawberries also need more soil in a pot and room for the vines to spread. Raspberries are deep rooted in parts do not get that in pots. Please learn better gardening and stop giving bad advice.

Thanks But I Had A Hard Time Understanding What Your Saying. Please Speak Up And Clearly. Your Voice Fades Out And With Your Accent I'm Not Sure I Understood You.
