I’m new at gardening and since I have a small garden I’ve decided that I should do container gardening. It will be organic container gardening. I was wondering what size of pots I needed for the plants I wanted to grow. So far I have 2 strawberry plants and Iceberg lettuce, broccoli, and 2 different types of tomato seedlings growing.
Here is the list of plants I wanted to grow:
blueberries, carrots, cucumbers,(I will be pickling them to make pickles) celery, peppers, grapes, cantaloupe, corn, cauliflower, some others too ( but I really can’t think of them right now).

What are the sizes of pots that I’ll need for each plant and how big of a trellis or stake to hold up the plants will I need?

Use the largest pots you can afford. Don’t use any pots less then 12″ diameter. And plan to water water water. Container gardens need watering on a more frequent basis than in-ground gardens because the surface area off the pots is all evaporative.

You can grow lovely produce in containers, you just have too keep watering. And use a regular fertilization schedule. I also top any container grown veggies with a good layer of compost and then a thick mulch to fertilize and try to keep a moisture barrier over soil at the same time.

Choose containers deep enough to accommodate the root system of each vegetable.
Recycled containers work well as new pots.
Many different herbs can be grown in 1 strawberry pot.
Corn and cantaloupe are not such good candidates for container gardening.
Choose bush varieties of vegetables when container gardening. The veggies taste the same but the plants don’t grow as big.
Some more great tips for container gardening are in this article.

We use the plastic pots that are 14″ across the top. They hold 25 lbs of potting soil. Be sure to buy vegetable potting soil without additives.

Cantaloupe has very long large leaf vines. They are not good for growing in small spaces.

Go here and click on each plant on the left hand side of the screen to see how to grow them…this is VERY important that you know how to grow each:
