Grow Vegetables in Containers

• What if your garden spot is not yet ready? Buy your transplants now and grow them in a larger container to plant in the garden later
   
• Get either 4-inch transplants or larger.  Put them in a 1- or 3-gallon nursery container filled with potting soil. Do not use soil from your garden. Add slow release fertilizer (like Osmocote or other slow release formulation) to the soil mix. Set the pots in a sunny spot in the yard, not in the shade!
