| Anyone going to container garden? What have you grown in containers? And how did they do? Im going to try to grow some cherry tomatoes in some big white plastic buckets this year. I got them for free and want to use them. How can I dress up these buckets or make them look nicer. Several buckets in a row could end up looking a little trashy. They will be in my sunny side yard near the side of the house.

| I have not tried growing anything (except a few flowers) in containers. I do know though, that you'll have to put a hole in the bottom of the bucket for drainage. If not, I think it might stay too wet and maybe rot the roots.

| I grow tomatoes in containers each year. Yes...you do need drainage holes in the bottom and a sunny location. I use miracle grow on mine and they do great! I also do many flower containers and they turn out beautiful. If you plant some cascading flowers that come down the sides, the pot won't show much and people will only notice the beautiful flowers.
