Why Vegetable Container Gardening is Getting More Popular Today Than Ever

by Jayne Walker

Vegetable container gardening is very popular these days. More and more people are discovering the joy of growing their own vegetables even with limited amounts of space to grow them.

One major reason for this growth in the popularity of container gardening is related to the current economy. When economic times are tough people tend to turn to more self-reliance. One way to do this is to grow some of your own food. People are starting their own gardens and growing food to supplement and in some cases even replace their need for the foods at the grocery store. One added benefit to all this is the fact that many times the vegetables you get are much better than those that you would get from the store. They are not treated with chemicals and are typically grown organically. You know exactly what you are getting when you grow your own vegetables.

This is another of the reasons for the increasing popularity of vegetable container gardens. The fact that healthy food is right there outside your door waiting for you to pick it gives most people a great deal of satisfaction. Then know that you are feeding your family a great healthy meal and spending less is wonderful. There is something very basic about the feeling of knowing that you can grow your own food and feed yourself.

One more driver in the increase in container gardening is the fact that there are so many people renting homes. People who may not have the permission of a landlord to dig up the back yard and plant rows of veggies can still grow them in containers. Even if you have just a little patio or balcony in an apartment building you can often get enough sunshine and space to grow some vegetables. This can be a great supplement to your normal food supply and provide healthy and great tasting meals.

Which brings us to our final point, taste is one great reason to grow some of your own vegetables. It simply does not get better than this. Fresh picked vegetables taste wonderful. So if you are thinking about growing your own veggies then go for it.
