Growing your own
vegetables la one way of
combating the food price
dilemma. But you don't need
a large backyard to grow
vegetables - Just a balcony, a
porch or u sunny windowsill.
A few seeds planted in
containers will provide
delicious fresh food and save
you money as well. All you

Vegetables can grow in
any type of containers • a
bucket, box, tub or pot will
do. A large wooden tub or
window box is probably best
if you plan to grow larger
vegetables such as tomatoes,
peppers or cucumbers.

small vegetables can be
grown In small 8 to 10 Inch
diameter pots.
Proper drainage Is an
important step in planting a
mini-garden. Three or four
holes drilled in the bottom of
a tub. for instance, should be
sufficient. It isn't necessary,
but to help excess water
drain out, a half inch of
gravel in the bottom is a
good idea.
Next, fill the container
with a soil mix. Dunham
recommends using a ready
mix peat type medium such
as Peatlite, Rediearth, Fto-
Mix, etc. This material will
provide good moisture
retention without
waterlogging and is much
lighter in weight than
regular soil.
If you decide to raise
tomatoes, peppers or
eggplants, it is best to start
them indoors in small peat
pots or peat pellets. Tran
splant them into outdoor
containers for balcony use
only after they are well
started and all danger of
frost is past. Some seeds can
be started directly in the
container.
Leafy vegetables can
stand more shade than root
vegetables, and root
vegetables more shade than
plants that produce fruit-like
tomatoes or eggplants. So
position containers ac
cordingly.
Proper watering is the
next most important factor
in the success of your
minigarden. Vegetables
should get the equivalent of
about one inch of rain every
week during their growing
season. During hot, dry
weather, you may need to
water your minigarden three
or more times a week. Watch
that you don’t over water;
you can kill the plants.
When the soil becomes dry
to the depth of half an inch,
provide enough water to
saturate this area. If you put
containers outdoors during
the summer, they may need
water every other day. After
plants are established, feed
them with a liquid fertilizer
once a week.
Avoid wetting the foliage if

possible, especially if you
water late in the evening.
Wet leaves encourage plant
diseases.
Apartment dwellers have
a wide choice of plants they
can grow, says Dunham.
Tomatoes, peppers, and
cucumbers yield a lot of
produce in a small space.
Lettuce is a quick crop that
can be grown in the same
container with later
vegetables, as can onion sets
or scallions. Swiss chard is
an excellent green that can
be harvested all summer.
Many vegetables make
beautiful ornamentals,
besides providing good fresh
produce. There are at least a
half-dozen good patio
tomatoes. Small Fry, Tiny
Tim, Basket Pak, Pixie and
Presto, or any of the plum
tomato varieties will do well.
Most tomato plants will need
some pruning and staking
