While many plants can grow in pots, their growth is limited by the size of their growing container.

Try out determinate tomatoes, bush-key in cucumbers and beans, or compact flowers like pansies to start.

These spacious containers come in a range of sizes and they drain well.

However, they should always be kept on plastic trays or in tubs to avoid leaks and water spills.

Toavoid overwatering, always feel the soil before watering, and dont water if the soil still feels wet.
