Container gardening

Even if you have a yard where you could plant a traditional garden, there are advantages to the use of a container or a window box garden. One recent example, we have a small yard, but one where I could plant a traditional in-the-ground garden, but I've opted to use garden window boxes. A huge storm was coming, that would have wiped out a traditional ground garden because there was a large amount of hail in the storm.

All I had to do was make sure my containers were closer to the house so the window flower boxes that contain my herbs were not damaged and neither were my tomatoes that are container planted. My herb garden in window plant boxes are easy to maintain and very easy to take whichever herbs I want, quickly and easily.
