The containers can be as varied as the plants you place in them.
new gardening trend is using succulents, which do not require fertilizer or frequent watering. These plants require potting soil specifically for succulents. Plants also have different requirements for light. Be sure to consider whether your containers need shade or full or partial sunlight. Keep in mind that even plants that require “full sun” may need a little relief from afternoons in the broiling Texas heat. If you garden in an area with deer, container-gardening may be a welcome solution for avoiding their hearty appetites. Plants can flourish in hanging baskets elevated out of the reach of hungry deer. Whichever plants and containers you choose, you’ll find a pleasant reward for the promise of spring.
