Fall Container Gardening

We’d be remiss if we didn’t mention the pure joys of container gardening in the fall. As the weather cools down, and the sun bids farewell to its reign over our days, our hardy veggies are flourishing. 

Vegetables like beets and spinach are the perfect veggies to grow in your cool-temp container garden because they prosper when the weather begins to cool off for the year. In fact, while these plants do enjoy their moment of full sun in the morning, they grow best when it’s not too hot or sunny outside. 

If you’re still considering planting your late-season garden, it’s not too late! The perks of planting in our Grow Bags is that you have the luxury of transporting your garden indoors once the first frost settles; just protect those plant babes and be sure to give them lots of sun, water, and TLC.
