I used to try to plant a garden of vegetables. I tried that for a couple of years. I tilled about a quarter acre of land out behind the house and planted peas, corn, snap beans, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, and broccoli. I had visions of enjoying fresh produce at the table and saving a lot of money.
Well, it seemed that the neighborhood rabbits, deer, and raccoons, as well as the turtles and slugs really enjoyed my efforts. We managed to harvest only about 5% of what I planted! So I eventually gave up, realizing that I was better off just buying my produce!
But the gardening bug had bit me, so I turned my attention to flower gardening. But I decided to use my head and invest a lot of my efforts into container gardening. I reasoned that it may be easier to use containers than to till and weed the ground. So I use a lot of Planters in my garden plans. I like to use Garden Planters because I can move the tender plants indoors if the weather becomes too cold for them to survive. And it makes invasive plants easier to control! I also like to plan where to place each Decorative Planter to make the garden more visually interesting.
