Best Vegetables to Grow in Pots

Growing vegetables such as tomatoes, cucumbers, butternut squash in pots, troughs and containers such as growbags and hanging baskets is easy, and most vegetables will thrive. Placed on the patio, you’ll enjoy their progress every time you look out of the window, they are more easy to protect from pests and you’ll enjoy their “picked-freshness” more often.

I continue to be so impressed with Roots. Their customer care, knowledge of their subject: from planting hedges to pruning roses and more, has been a great support.
