This week I created a container garden strawberry patch! This was my dilemma these past few months… I have run out of garden space in my raised planters for adding new plants, or seeds. I want to grow more than I have room for, so garden design and space creativity are taxing my mind. I also have issues with too much shade in the areas that I do have space. I was very happy this week when I found a way to create more space for a strawberry patch and recycle some old metal containers along with a bench that were being unused. I hammered some holes with a big nail on the bottom of the bins for drainage. My teenager was not happy that I woke him up with all the noise, but once I had the idea in my mind I couldn’t wait to get started. I like how the containers are situated at waist level, then taper down to a clay pot on the ground. Depending on how well these strawberries grow, it looks like there may be some room to add more in the future. The nice thing about container gardening is that the pots can me moved around the garden to maximize sun exposure as the seasons change. As soon as these plants produce their first strawberries I will be posting a macro photo.
