I am a serial plant killer but I currently have yellow marigolds in planters. Fingers crossed because it's been two weeks and they are still alive!

I'm disabled and garden with storage totes, 3 & 5 gallon buckets, half plastic drums, grow bags, etc.. I have sand cherries🍒, blueberries and a fig tree in the drums and lots of everything else in the containers. I grow lots of Swiss Chard, 🥬, collards, green onions, bell peppers, tomatoes🍅, cucumbers🥒, 🍆 eggplants, zucchini, summer and winter squash as well as herbs of all kinds.

I have been keeping a begonia plant from my sister funeral 10 years ago. I makes me happy to see the blooms

My goodness, what a great idea using the basket with the laundry bag!

I decided to Winter over 17 geraniums. They flourished all winter. The beginning of April I took several cuttings from the plants and still have the mother plants. If all cuttings root I will have 50 geranium plants to share with my friends. Our daughter gifted me for my birthday and November to succulents a month for a year. So I'm watching those babies grow quickly right now this spring.

My mom is 93 so this year we did the container plating. So she has tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers and collard green! They are doing well! She has had a garden since I was a child and I am now 59. It is very rewarding to share this with kids and show them how they can have veggies of their own to grow! We also use the dried out seeds that we dry out out and place on medicine bottles and label for next years planting.

So I suck at growing things. I'm trying but I don't think it's my talent. But... I did put a green onion root in some water and it actually grew!! Y'all! I was so excited that I was telling everyone like I discovered the secret to life lol

Tip on using larger containers - if you don't really need all the soil for a huge plant, save using some soil and take up room with empty smaller nursery pots, empty plastic bottles, pieces of pool noodles or Styrofoam.

i have a fig tree in a planter. I'm from Toronto, Canada and so happy to be able to take my fig tree outdoor finally because the weather is much warmer.

I have 7 herb pots growing, a few flowers pots and potatoes... aloe plants and some bulbs.... all in planters!

The double mesh trash can idea is brilliant!

Hey there, we grow strawberries, blueberries, thornless raspberries, have fig trees, cherry trees, a fruit cocktail tree as well as a vegetable garden. We also have tons of beautiful lavender, lupine, garden pinks, merrigolds, snap dragons, sunflowers, hanging baskets, some blue grass, a beautiful Tropicana, a couple of hydrangeas, rose bushes, a huge honeysuckle and more. I also have my houseplants that are taking over my kitchen lol.

Have not counted recently. But over 160+ house plants and a garden bed for veggies. Still working on what I want for my black urns.

Use smashed plastic water bottles in the bottom of planter for drainage & reducing the amount of dirt needed in large .planters.

Growing my own citrus trees in pots from seeds from the fruit I bought. And a avocado trees in pots.

I love growing rosemary. I live in southern Alabama so it gets super hot. These things don’t need extra attention. They have remained happy in sun and rain and didn’t die in winter. I highly recommend them as they can be used in cooking and they help keep mosquitos away. I also have a Meyer lemon tree and several other potted plants.

I have 3 peace lily plants in my house. I got one when my brother died last year and 2 more when my sister was murdered 2 months ago. I’m trying to keep them alive. It’s the first live plant I’ve had since I was little. Never really had a green thumb, but these mean more to me so I’m doing my best!!

That laundry basket pot is genius! Big pots are so expensive! I have a 6ft x 12ft balcony that I have kale , broccoli, spinach, cabbage, onions, carrots, all spices you can think of, tomatoes, lettuce, 10 different peppers, cucumbers, beans, peas and lettuce! Also a couple varieties of flowers 🌸 it’s crowded but beautiful 🤩

In pots in my home? Well,.... I have a 5 year old Chinese Fan Palm, a large Aloe Vera and 2 of her babies, a 10 year old Double Hibiscus tree, a beautiful Monstera plant, a Bromeliad and a basket planter with a small palm plant and a small prayer plant. THEN I just started some carrots, broccoli, onions, acorn squash, sugar snap peas, cherry tomatoes, and I'm rooting some sweet potatoes. AND I'm getting ready to root some white potatoees and going to start getting my yard ready and also build some raised beds to transplant the veggies I started indoors. Also, I'm also going to trim my blackberry bush thats in a large container outside and I still have a lot more planting to do: corn, melons, herbs, etc.! I used to have over 50 indoor plants but stopped growing so many indoors. Now I enjoy growing edible plants outdoors and a few indoor plants. Gardening is FUN!!!!

I have many things growing all year from clippings from store bought vegetables and seeds from fruits. Onions (green, cooking, purple, Spanish and vadalia) Horseradish from roots, ginger from risomes, romaine lettuce from core roots, celery from core root, broccoli from core stem, Orange tree from seed, papaya from seeds, apple tree from seeds, pineapple from leafy root. I'm always trying to grow anything that I have bought but I also forage to find plants to grow for medicines. I do have many house plants as well.

Things I have in pots now include (in addition to houseplants) potatoes, tomatoes, lettuce, peppers, garlic, green onions. Probably some other things. Also flowers: petunias, snapdragons, violets, alyssum. Most of my stuff is in the ground but it's nice to have a few things in containers.

My 100 roses all are in the the pots and come back every year for me.

I have a Christmas Cactus, that I just love, especially when I do not have a green thumb…

I have A LOT of plants iin containers of all sizes outside after discovering they're much easier to care for than things in the ground. I'm in Southern CA near the beach and get morning sun in front, so have a lot of succulents and rather drought-tolerant things that can take full sun. To keep things looking good all year, I focus on planting perennials that won't die out seasonally. A little searching online provides plenty of information about growing plants in containers.

I grow orchids, succulents, cactus, ferns, roses, hibiscus, lilies, so much more. Fiddle leaf fig my fav.

My hopes and dreams for being able to keep a plant alive is what's growing in my planters lol

Rattlesnake Pole Beans,Bush Beans, tons of different peppers, Zucchini, Purple Hull Peas and Potatoes all in containers.

I love putting hosta in pots and they come up every year !

Yes I have aloe vera, mother-in-law tongue, case iron plant, spider plant, and some Ivy. I love plants. A lot of my plants froze in the freeze in February. So I have to start over.

I do all my gardening in containers. Over 50 plants right now, every size from 8 inch pot to 25 gallon planters.

Hi to all! I am enjoying this video. Yes I have almost all of my flowers and vegetables in containers. I find it easier to grow in containers than in the ground. I grow lettace, potatoes, beets, beens, carrots,tomatoes, spinach and sweet potatoes all in containers. Some are on my deck and some are in the yard. To take up room in the bottom of large containers I put broken sticksand leaves you can also put shredded paper, all of these will break down over time and enrich your soil. Good luck to you on your growing adventures! Just remember the smaller containers need watering more often than larger ones.

That is what I want to know too, to continue my garden longer. I live in PA, it snowed a couple weeks ago, then got super hot for a week and a half and the last two days are cold again...you literally can wear a winter coat and long pants today, it is May 28th, this is ridiculous. It is raining and miserable. So, I probably can't have a garden for too long.

Lots! Rhubarb, veggies, flowers, herbs, houseplants 💜

I like how you repurposed the hanging plant. I do that all the time; it's a great tip. In the Spring or around Mother's Day, hanging plants often go on a deep discount sale and are actually cheaper than buying the individual plants many times. They've also been put together by a professional designer, so you know the colors, shapes, and textures go well together.

I have carrots, strawberries, parsley, grapevine, and blueberries. It's too cold in Ohio to start planting yet but I do everything in cloth pots.

I currently have a garden with tomatoes, peppers, squash, and cucumbers. In pots I have herbs, peppers, and a cherry tomatoe plant. I have Begonias, pansies, and Cockscone.

Currently growing heirloom pear and super steak tomatoes, asparagus, sunflowers, lettuce, celery, green onions, as well as some lillies, elephant ears, and various other house plants. They are all on the patio for now but come indoors before cold weather. Thanks for the video.

I have roses, lilacs, hydrangeas, tomatoes, blueberries, grapes, blackberries, raspberries, mint, sage, oregano, basil, chives, thyme, parsley, garlic, asparagus and potatoes all in pots. All doing great.

You are so pleasant to listening to

I have peppers growing in a pot, and then about 20 houseplants lol 😆

Yesterday I went to all dollar tree stores possible here where I live and I couldn’t find anything for the gardens no pots no yard decors nothing,,🤷🏼‍♀️,,,but thank you for sharing 🙋‍♀️👍🏻🙏🏻

Everything for real for me I have from corn to asparagus cauliflower a salad, tea, husband, blueberries, strawberries. I love it.

What awesome ideas, even 10 months later. I've killed all my container plants but I do have a peach tree that's been hanging in there for the last 5 years. It hasn't grown any taller in 5 years (it's only about 2' tall) but it has gotten fuller. And at least it isn't dead. 😂

My husband has an aloe plant in a pot, and we’ve got a small garden started (just tilled ground beside our house.) I absolutely LOVE plants...but I do not have a green thumb. The only thing I’ve been able to keep alive is a 2.5 yr old Christmas cactus 😂

If you want to dress up your laundry basket planter, you could try wrapping it in burlap.

Oh and lavender! I would love to grow some of that!

Here's a tip I got from another RU-vidr: use empty water and soda bottles with the labels removed, in the bottom of your planters to help with drainage and use a lot less soil! It works great especially in large planters!

I have a 8'x12' "shed" w/ very large windows on the south side that I fondly call my greenhouse. A friend laughs that I can't get in it in the winter because I have so many potted plants. I don't even know how many. There are multiples of most. When fall comes again, I will be putting inside the potted geraniums (about 10 now but they may not all fit), a fig tree, several fuschias, maybe 20 cacti that I started from seed, several fibrous begonias that looks like tiny roses, a large hibiscus, 2 hanging begonias, a fancy leaf begonia not grown for flowers, an asparagus fern, a small palm tree & 2 artichokes in separate pots. The ones that go in the house are a Benjamin fig tree, a darantia, several Christmas cacti & an Easter one, a bird-of-paradise, a schefflera, & a few more. We live on the edge of zones 4 & 5 so most of these wouldn't survive outside. I ask myself tho, is the cost of running the electric heater worth saving this many? Usually the answer is "YES." Some I probably can't replace. The peanut cacti came from my grandmother who died over 40 yrs ago. I haven't seen one in stores. The rose flowered begonia is like one she had that I managed to find many yrs ago. I run the risk every yr of something going wrong & I will lose a few before spring. Still, I try.

Plumeria Tree’s, Sedum, Banana Tree’s, Broom Bush, Rose Moss, Salvia, Lemon Tree, Squash, Tomatoes, jalapeño pepper, Lemon Grass, Penta’s, Ti Plant l, Plumed Cockscomb, Chinese Ixora, Mexican Heather, Egyptian Star Clusters, Passion Fruit, Angel Trumpet Tree, Garden Star of Bethlehem, Plantain Lily, and so much more!! I had no idea until I continued typing!!!

I use galvanized wash tubs to plant my veg gardens. Make sure to drill drainage holes in the bottom.

I just bought plants at Lowe's today. Beautiful Persian shield, coleus, marigolds, and geraniums.

The tall plants turned out so pretty.

I love to put a Foxglove as a centerpiece. I have lots coming up in my garden and can pot them

Love your decorative white planter pot

I have countless pots and planters outdoors. Little by little I got rid of the lawn out in front, then most of the "flower beds" when I realized it's easier to maintain things in containers, plus easier to control weeds. In the front of my house where I get full sun I do have jade plant in the ground as a hedge across the front, and on one side a mock orange and jasmine. I also have pink jasmine over an arbor at the front (where there's a sidewalk) and a couple of roses in front of the porch wall. That still leaves plenty of room and I have all kinds of succulents, Euryops (yellow daily-like blooms), rosemary, lavender, Indian Hawthorne and other things. On the long part of the porch I switch out herbs, tomatoes, lettuce, etc.

I am growing supertunias.No deading heading.Water and fertilize. Happy gardening. MK

I have homemade cloth grow bags with tomatoes, cucumbers and flowers in my greenhouse, flowers in $ store pots with handles on my patio, painted large size Maxwell House containers I spray painted and hung from copper electric wire going up my art studio steps with veggies and petunias. 15 food safe Lowe’s 5 gallon pots in my fenced garden area that are self wicking. Numerous potted flowers in $ Tree stackable pot towers. And dark grey painted kitty litter buckets with canna bulbs and vining plants also some that hold water near thirsty plants in the greenhouse , keeping the lid on keeps them closed so no mosquitos can get in.... Remember that only use food safe containers for veggies unless you are not worried about chemical releasing into your soil....those $ tree stackable are from China...I bought a case of them and then found out where they came from......if you want your roots to have moisture you can buy floral wet foam and cut into pieces to put on the bottom of a pot, it absorbs all the water sitting there and the soil has moisture...I did this with my cocoa fiber lined basket from $ tree and my flowers are doing very well....

YES! I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO USED STYROFOAM. WORKS GREAT! even in the ground

Sage, Rosemary abd luckily flat leaf parsley made it through the Winter here in zone 7.😊

I have a air plane plant I have had for about 12 years. And Christmas cactuses, hydrangeas, wandering jew.

So far there isn’t much we don’t have planted. We have all the flowers and such, rose bushes, azaleas, plus pots all around with annual and perineals. I have cucumbers, squash, zucchini, peppers, carrots, blueberries all planted and growing really well. A truck to start my seeds is I keep the containers that swiffer wet cloths come in and the containers that spring mix lettuce comes in and I use them for seed starting. They are the absolute best greenhouses I have found.

I have over 40 fruit trees growing in a pot garden on a slab patio space. Tropical fruits. 😊

Pansies are what I plant in my containers outside during the winter they even live through the snow.

Angel Trumpet, purple queen

you need a small kiddie pool to put your grow bags in . When you put them in the pool they will grow really well if you put about three inches in the bottom of the pool.

I have 2 huge snake plants, a cactus, Xmas cactus and a succulent indoors. My hubby has raised gardens outdoors with tomatoes, pepper, peas, scallions and zucchini. He also has Basil, Rosemary and Cilantro. Around the yard we have roses, irises, rose of Sharon, wisteria, Lilly of the valley, Mountain laurel, regular mint and lemon mint, sedum, daffodils and other flowers we’ve had for years that I don’t know their names. We love plants and gardening. Incidentally we have multiple bird feeding stations for he birds but other creatures use it also. And......we have bird house, bat houses and a special structure for the bees. I guess I just love nature.

Alive in pots we have a blue berry bush, aloe, succulents, avocado, rosemary, chives and other onions, ivy... several herbs...my husband LOVES plants lol!

I love all ur days planter, my favorite is the laundry basket and hanger bag. I'm going to try that's.

I just started playing all kind of plants my favoriteso far is my lemon tree 🍋🌶🍅💪🏿💪🏿✌🏿✌🏿✌🏿

The planter that you painted white and added the bling looks great! It will shimmer nicely in the sun. You have a lot of good tips. Thank you.

I have a lemon tree that I planted from seeds in 2020 and I love it, it’s beautiful!!!

I have a lot of live plants...love Month of May when most come back to life and I get to add new

Love the video! I have green beans successfully growing upside down in a hanging pot.

I bought that spiller plant this year.. I couldn't believe how fast it grows. I bought 2 tiny plants from lowes. They were only about 2 inches wide and long. But I noticed they were trying to root out on the tiny shoots so I took those and cut off 1 piece that had roots on it and turned 2 tiny plants into 4 very tiny plants But it's only been 2 weeks and they all have excellent root systems on them and the longers is at least 8 inches long and as wide as my hand with fingers spread. But I did buy a different kind of potting soil this year. Its called " BACTO ". .. Everything I have planted in that potting soil has blown my mind.. It is pricey at 15.oo a bag but it is worth every dime.

I have a ZZ, pothos, snake, bird of paradise, jade, umbrella, aloe, goya, bamboo plants. Also, marigolds tomatoes, and peppers to name a few.

I have a large number of indoor plants all around a south window-doors and I really like the snake plants, aka mother-in-law tongue. They are easy to start on your own and propagate. I just put 3 leaves in water until they grew roots and transplanted them into a vase and then a larger planter because they grow so fast! They are really fun because they get so tall; mine are about 5 ft. tall!

I have lots of things in containers but I think one of the best things is my strawberries

I mostly grow veggies in containers and I know they can be pricey. Your ideas are amazing!

Yes I have a star cactus that my Aunt gave 7 years ago. I have not killed it. I do put it inside for winter.

Right now the only thing coming along is my roses. They bloom from spring to fall. I have seeds to put in but haven't been able to get to it. Partly due to out of the ordinary weather conditions (rain, cold, snow, you name it) and partly due to a whole house clean, and downsize. I may end up holding off until fall.

I am constantly planting sedums such as Hens & Chicks, then repotting little starts to give to my friends. They are definitely the easiest plants that keep on giving 🥰

Yes, I have a lot of plants, I have a giant angelwing bagonia a giant ponytail fern ,. Several orchids, several snake plants, etc. . I like growing things.

I have quite a few containers full of beauty both inside and out. I am growing Dianthus, different daisy varieties, Irish moss, and succulents outside in my fairy garden worlds. Inside I am growing tons! I have almost 100 indoor plants and love them all!

Houseplants!! Large are the Monstera’s; all types of Philodendrons, Swiss cheese plants; Spider plants and so many more….👍

I enjoyed this video.Thank you for sharing. XO from Tennessee

I have way too many things to list growing in containers of all size all around my house outside. I've learned to pay attention to my growing area as well as the difference in the sun (my house gets afternoon sun in front). And so I don't have to replace things seasonally, I concentrate on perennials. A big advantage to container gardening is that it's easy to move them.

Great use of a basket and laundry bag

You can also cover that styrofoam with a bit of porous landscaping fabric. It makes separating the dirt from the styrofoam much easier.

I have a dozen African Violets indoors. I also have a large pony tail plant and philodendron. I have herds of deer in my back property so it’s difficult to keep vegetables or flowers. I have a large vinca garden that the deer leave alone. It’s nice that you can grow plants on your deck. Everything looks so colorful

I went to Dollar Tree to find flower pots and didnt have any at mine. I will have to go to other Dollar Trees and look. Love your ideas for the flower pots! Thank you. You are very talented and creative!!

I grow tomatoes year round. When they get leggy just cut them down to a couple of inches high and they’ll come back. I live in Florida and I move them around. It’s real hot in the summer .

I have all kinds of houseplants, tropical plants, succulents, tons of coleus and pepper plants!

Ginger root,basil,parsley,geraniums,coral bell

I have small lemon and orange plants an avocado plant growing in my living room by the window and a couple of other plants.

I only container garden and right now I have 14 tomato plants to cucumber some carrots and lots of flowers

I live in a mobile home park and the ground is terrible! Clay, mud, no drainage. So I'm planting almost everything in containers! I "replant" celery stubs, romaine, green onions etc. Outside I have a lot of perennial herbs in pots rosemary, oregano, thyme(s, different kinds, lemon, English etc.), Sage, strawberries. Some huge planters I have a few kinds of hydrangeas, reblooming sonic weigela, Rhododendron, several colors of dianthus. Garlic, garlic chives, regular chives in raised beds. This year I am growing more foods& have been "schooling myself on what can grow in containers, I'm trying red, russet, Yukon potatoes, yams, in hanging baskets I'm going to try peas, cherry tomatoes, lettuces, spinach and swiss chard. In other containers im trying beets, turnips, carrots, onions. I'm also going to bury water bottles with holes poked in the bottom and fill those with water so they will gradually "take" the water they need. Hopefully save a lot of water this way! I live in Ohio so our last frost date is May 15th! Also trying to find flowers that are edible, so they'll also be functional!

I bought the Wildflower blend, sunny mix, from the Dollar Tree, and put them in 2 separate pots, thet are all growing! Im excited to see what comes up!

I have many plants in pots that I keep in the house, I also currently have bell peppers-red, green, yellow and orange inside in large pots. When they get a bit bigger and the weather gets a bit more stable I will move them outside but still keep them in the pots. We have a lot of voles that love to eat our produce. So we have planted tomatoes and potatoes in pots as well. So keep on trying. It is really nice to be able to bring your planters inside in the fall to prolong the season a bit.

Great ideas and you looked gorgeous in that hat x
