Hey there, so I went tot he farmers market last saturday, and I got some little tomato, pepper, cucumber, and herb plants, theres a few others, can’t remember, but I’m totally confused, how should I plant them when in the pot? Do I need to stake them? How often should I water them? The tag says to put in Direct sunlight which they are, but should I get them each their own indivual pots or no? Help! I’m not a good gardening person. haha.
Do I still need big pots if they are just small right now?
They can’t go in the ground, I live in a town house.

Hi! I would like to start some veggies and herbs in pots on my patio. I have a lot of space in the backyard in direct sunlight too if needed. I just rent instead of owning so I don’t want to plant in the ground.

What veggies and herbs are the easiest to grow?
What supplies do I need to get started?
Which grow best in my environment? (I live on Oahu, Hawaii, about 100 yards from the beach, 80 degrees year round…lots of salt in the air)

I’m mostly interested in growing everyday cooking herbs like parsley, basil, rosemary, cilantro and chives would be awesome. Veggie wise I would love to grow bell peppers, jalapenos, tomatoes (cherry or roma?), and other ones that would work well in pots.

I have never tried to grow anything in my life, but I love to cook and I hate having to run to the store for green onions, peppers and stuff like that all the time, so any advice is greatly appreciated!!!

Thank you so much!!!

I posted most of this before…but I thought I would get a little more help. I don’t even know where to begin, do I buy potting soil? What would be the easiest things to start with etc?? Thank you!!!

I’ve planted cucumber seeds and herb seeds in pots which I have to keep on my deck outdoors. It’s been almost two weeks since I’ve planted them and nothing has happened. It did get pretty cold overnight, I HAVE been watering them decent amounts, and they are in direct sunlight all day. Is this unusual? When will they grow? am I doing something wrong? Are they dead?

I would really like to start gardening, but I live in an apartment. I do have ample patio space for planters, but the sunlight would be minimized due to the screen. I’m clueless, so let me tell you a few things so you can give me the best advice!

I’d like to grow things I will actually eat, like onions, potatoes, carrots, avocado, fruits, green onions, garlic, lettuce, squash and green beans. I would like it to be fairly low maintenance, and not too costly.

I do not care to grow only herbs, or any tomatoes.

As I said, I am a novice, so I’d really appreciate good feedback on this one!

I moved into a house that has a garden out front. I don’t know much about gardening, but would love to learn. This part of the house receives lots of sunlight. The garden is beginning to look overgrown and I need to tend to it, but I don’t know how to prune or what to prune and what to do with the "harvested" herbs. Help!
