Hi SPROUTS Fans& Fanatics!

Just a quick note to let you know that our first video has been posted and our second installment will follow shortly. Our first video is primarily informational with a focus on four alternative garden options: container, square foot, hay bale and roof top. Each of these four have their benefits and specific appeal and work well in suburban or urban settings.

I had very high hopes to start my first hay bale garden this year but I will be hosting my first graduation party in my backyard in late June so I have opted for the container variety on my patio. Currently I have tomatoes and a variety of peppers and herbs growing as well as a large pot with pumpkin sprouts just beginning to peek out of the dirt. This is my second year with container pumpkins. I ended up with three successful vines last season and my kids had a blast choosing their jack-o-lanterns right from their own yard. (One note about growing pumpkins like this, the vines grow way outside the pot and like to take over a portion of the yard but fortunately they are quite easily redirected.)

Again, please take a moment to check out the video and think about starting your own personal gardening space by trying one, or even a combination of the four that are highlighted.

Take care & enjoy great gardening!
