Review: Container Gardens 50 Recipes for Year-Round Gardening
2009-11-11 04:17:00 Last week a representative from Crown Publishing Group - Random House, Inc. offered to send me Container Gardens: 50 Recipes for Year-Round Gardening by P. Allen Smith to review. Since I try to include ideas for container gardening on this blog because many Chicagoans live in apartments or small spaces I agreed to take a look. What I thought was a small book on container gardens turned out to be a collection of container garden ideas printed (both sides) on tabbed cards that you can take with you to the garden center or nursery when picking out plants for your container gardens....
Container Garden Spider Check
2009-10-21 20:26:00 Over the weekend as I was emptying out my container gardens and placing the containers underneath the stairs for the winter I got a few surprises. I know spiders are beneficial insects to have in the garden, but I can't help be creeped out by spiders. As I was putting the pots away I kept finding spiders crawling on my hands ( fortunately, I was wearing gloves) and arms. In my garden spiders have a tendency of laying eggs or overwintering under the rims of pots, even though they have the whole yard to do this in....
Spring Flowering Bulb Planters: Container Garden Idea 6

Protecting Container Gardens From Squirrels
2009-07-22 19:33:00 A reader, CCWriter, asked for advice on protecting container gardens from squirrels with the catch that the advice couldn't be cruel. I don't really have a squirrel problem. In the past four years there have only been two incidents of plant damage involving squirrels at my Chicago garden. They rarely come down from the telephone wires around here because of the stray cats and dogs.So, I turned to fellow garden bloggers from the Chicagoland area and asked for their advice in dealing with squirrels and container gardens. Here is what they suggested:...

Sunken Planters: Container Garden Idea 5
2009-07-14 05:38:00 Came across these two planters sunken into a raised bed below the organic rooftop farm. You generally see planters standing upright, so when I saw these two in the soil and at an angle- they caught my eye. Strawberries are growing inside the two pots and they look more interesting growing in this method than in standard strawberry pots....

Modern Planters: Container Garden Idea 4
2009-07-03 07:31:00 Lately I've been focused on blogging about the utilitarian aspects of a garden, but a garden can be nothing more than ornamental if that better fits your lifestyle. Yesterday, I made a trip to Sprout Home, one of my favorite garden centers in Chicago, and came across some modern planters that would look at home in just about any urban garden....
