Flower Pot Farmer
This is my first video in a series called The Flower Pot Farmer. Growing food in containers is easy instructions. I want people to see that anybody can grow vegetables in a flower pot. We did it. There is something nice knowing that nobody else’s hands ever touched your food. You do not need pesticides. You can grow organic. You do not need a plot of earth or a traditional garden to enjoy growing fresh food. If you have limited growing space, if you live in an apartment or in the city, you can still grow your own vegetables,tomatoes,cucumbers, strawberries and yes even grow corn in a flower pot. All you need is the right combination of soil, seeds, and sunlight. Enjoy the video…and let us hear from you! The Flower Pot Farmer Asheville,NC

I tried alcohol; and smoked cigarettes
Though, they did nothing, but give me regrets.
My mom had arthritis and couldn’t walk around
When I rolled her a joint, she danced on the ground.
I got out my pipe and stuffed it with pot
You better believe, it held a whole lot.
I whipped out a lighter and thumbed up a flame
Then sucked down that smoke which comforts my brain.
bY tOM zART!
What a wonderful video! Can’t wait to see more. I have started using containers and am so excited to see your wonderful progress! Hope that we have the same luck =) Cheers!
@Steelchamp060 Don’t know if he ever responded to ya…but you’ll definitely want to put them vertically up a trellis if you can. They will naturally vine, and can do this laying in the soil, but will be more likely to get diseases/insects when not vined upwards.
Good luck!
Wow excellent video dude. I’ve been growing in pots for years due to lack of space and always get a decent crop. BTW did I spot a bonzai at approx 7:13 ?
Thats a beautiful garden
I really liked this one.
this is a dumb question, I just got into gardening from pots ladt year with just peppers, but this year I want to grow cantaloupe and watermelons, do they grow up in the pots, or out? Sorry for the dumb question but I think I love gardening and have a addiction with it lol
I like your video, nice work
love ur video, hats off to branda love love her flower garden
Sir you have a beautiful home! Your wife did a beautiful job on the walk path & I love the individual garden piles with the brick they were great oh and the lillies were gorgeous!! Thank you for sharing the video I live in an apartment here in illinois which has decent patio space and would love to try flower pot gardening. I’ve been researching how to and what plants work best for about 2 hours now haha will check out your channel now for any other advice! Thanks again
Did the corn plant in the pot actually produce the corn? I would like to try this.
wow that looks like paradise!…is squash an easy thing to grow? does it need a lot of light or warmth?
theres lead in garden hoses
I really like this video. Your vegetables are amazing. I also liked how you drilled extra holes in the pots on the sides. I think that is why mine don’t grow as well because I haven’t drilled extra holes beyond the holes that the pots came with already. Maybe I just need extra drainage. thanks for putting out this video. it’s helpful.
Thanks for the tips on growing veges in flower pot. I live in the tropics (Malaysia) but really miss the veges like summer squash and eggplant when I was in Australia. Got some seeds so hopefully they will grow well in my pots.
can you plant watermelons and a 10 inchs flower pot
@saturdayhero1 Me too! Starting my first veggie garden
Best of luck and I hope you post an update vid when the time is right
@devotees1
I think it would take years for it to leach minerals out of the soil. The potted plant is only going to live for a season. Plus….I use OSMOCOTE timed release fertilizer for flowers and vegetables. It can never burn the plants because it is released over a 4 month period. Each season, I remix new soil in each pot.
I use a 3 cubic ft bag of organic Sphagnum Peat Moss mixed with 1 cubic ft bag of organic compost.
@sauceykat
Thanks sauceykat. We are blessed to live here. Hey, it is springtime. We are starting up again with planting.
hi
what is the importance of overflowing the water in the pot? won’t this drain away the important minerals form the soil?
Wow, what a beautiful property, I’m so jealous!
Thanks , can’t wait to see it. I want to grow some cucumbers on my apartment balcony and pickle them for my husband and me.
I use wire cage traps. Put peanut butter and sunflower seeds inside. Put some seeds around the entrance of the trap. They will go inside to eat and then you can relocate them to someplace 5 miles away. I did this with squirrels. It is humane and safe.
As soon as the global warming makes the snow disappear, I will post the next video. Can you believe it? We have had snow on the ground in Asheville, NC since December 18th.
Darn politicians! They said we were warming up. Can’t believe anything they say? The next video will be about mixing “timed release” fertilizer with peat moss and a little bit of dirt.
I like to see the water drain quickly through the roots.
Thanks!
where is the second vid in the series?
tomatoes are self pollinating, I have three plants indoors with tomatoes on them, no bees
