Container gardening is almost too easy. You don\u2019t even have to buy seeds. Just stop by your local farmer\u2019s market sometime in April and buy seedlings from a vendor. Grab a few bags of potting mix and mulch at the hardware store. Pick up a few planting containers\u2014and you\u2019re all set. By mid-June, you\u2019ll have lots of nice homegrown veggies to add to your diet.<\/p>\n<p>There are many herbs and vegetables suitable for container gardening. Here are five of the easiest to grow, easy to eat edibles\u2014and some general use and care tips to help you make the most of your container gardening experience.<\/p>\n<h3>01 Mint<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-3221 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.surroundslandscaping.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/01-mint.jpg\" alt=\"container gardening mint\" width=\"480\" height=\"386\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.surroundslandscaping.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/01-mint.jpg 1050w, https:\/\/www.surroundslandscaping.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/01-mint-300x241.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.surroundslandscaping.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/01-mint-1024x823.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.surroundslandscaping.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/01-mint-768x617.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 480px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 480\/386;\" \/>Mint is for<a href=\"http:\/\/allrecipes.com\/recipe\/147363\/the-real-mojito\/\"> mojitos<\/a>, the cocktail that says, &#8220;summer is here.&#8221; It\u2019s a great container plant that spreads vigorously by sending out shoots beneath the soil. So it won\u2019t take long for your planting container to be full of it.<\/p>\n<p>Full sun or shade, mint does well either way. In June the plant will start to flower. This signals the time when leaves will be most pungent and flavorful. Trim the flower buds before they open to keep the plant compact. Then harvest.<\/p>\n<p>Pinch off leaves as you need them. Or, cut off the whole plant just above the second set of leaves for a large harvest. This will encourage the plant to bush out even more. You can expect about three full harvests per plant per season.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both\"><\/div>\n<h3>02 Basil<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-3222 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.surroundslandscaping.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/02-basil.jpg\" alt=\"basil\" width=\"480\" height=\"407\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.surroundslandscaping.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/02-basil.jpg 1050w, https:\/\/www.surroundslandscaping.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/02-basil-300x254.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.surroundslandscaping.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/02-basil-1024x868.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.surroundslandscaping.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/02-basil-768x651.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 480px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 480\/407;\" \/>How about pasta al fresco with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.simplyrecipes.com\/recipes\/fresh_basil_pesto\/\">fresh basil pesto<\/a>? It\u2019s quick and easy to make with a food processor.<\/p>\n<p>Basil grows rapidly in 80- to 90-degree weather.<\/p>\n<p>Position your basil container where it will get 6 to 8 hours of sun. Basil likes moist but well-drained soil. Poor drainage will cause root rot.<\/p>\n<p>Using a large-sized container will keep moisture around the roots on extremely hot, sunny days. As with mint, basil will start to flower at midsummer. Pinching off the flower stems encourages the plant to branch out.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s harvest time once plants have reached a height of 6 to 8 inches. Pinch the leaves from the tips of the stems to encourage the plant to branch and make more leaves.<\/p>\n<h3>03 Romaine<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3224\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3224\" style=\"width: 480px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3224 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.surroundslandscaping.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/04-romaine-leaf-lettuce.jpg\" alt=\"romaine and red leaf in container\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.surroundslandscaping.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/04-romaine-leaf-lettuce.jpg 1150w, https:\/\/www.surroundslandscaping.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/04-romaine-leaf-lettuce-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.surroundslandscaping.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/04-romaine-leaf-lettuce-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.surroundslandscaping.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/04-romaine-leaf-lettuce-768x576.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 480px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 480\/360;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3224\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Red and green leaf lettuce shares potting space with the romaine<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The main ingredient of that classic\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/allrecipes.com\/recipe\/229063\/classic-restaurant-caesar-salad\/\">Caesar salad<\/a> that accompanies your summer pasta dish and an all-around every occasion salad green?

The young leaves add substance to any salad. In fact, you could substitute chopped Tuscan kale for chopped romaine in that Caesar salad.<\/p>\n<p>Kale is okay with partial shade but grows\u00a0to its fullest with six hours of full sun per day.<\/p>\n<p>Full-sized kale plants show dusty green, crinkly leaves that can be eaten whole in sandwiches, cut into salads, used as a garnish, or cooked like Swiss chard or spinach.<\/p>\n<p>Spring is the best time for kale. Cool-weather brings out the best of\u00a0its nutty sweet flavor. When harvesting, pick from the lowest section of the stalk. Leave at least 4 leaves at the top of each plant.<\/p>\n<p>By midsummer, kale plants send up stalks of yellow flowers. At this point, you can keep them as ornamentals because the leaves will lose their taste.<\/p>\n<h3>05 Sorrel<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-3227 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.surroundslandscaping.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/05-sorrel.jpg\" alt=\"container gardening sorrel\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.surroundslandscaping.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/05-sorrel.jpg 1150w, https:\/\/www.surroundslandscaping.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/05-sorrel-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.surroundslandscaping.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/05-sorrel-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.surroundslandscaping.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/05-sorrel-768x576.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 480px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 480\/360;\" \/>This leafy green can be cooked or added to salads for its peppery taste and lemony fragrance.<\/p>\n<p>Sorrel does best with full sun during the spring to early summer.
