#container gardening
Tiny patio garden.
Fruit trees are fruiting!
All these trees I’ve grafted or rooted myself, starting with bare rootstock or a cutting. Many of these trees I’ve put on multiple varieties. Some have more than half a dozen or more different varieties on one tree!
Since we don’t own land, we grow our trees in containers. They all started out in 1 gallon pots and now most are in 15 gallon containers. I don’t plan on potting up further but we are hopeful we will plant many of these trees in the ground when we buy a place soon.
We’ve got apple, Asian pear, plum, nectarine, peach, grapefruit, mandarin, pineapple guava, fig, pomegranate and more.
No fruit yet on the cherry or European Pear trees. Maybe next year!
Just some photos of the different areas and styles of my garden.
We have some beds where we are growing directly in the ground.
We have a lot of 15 gallon containers where fruit trees share the space with fava beans or other small vegetables.
And we have smaller 5 gallon containers where we are growing peppers, strawberries and snow peas.

I haven’t posted in a long while but I’ve still been gardening.
The photos of the container-grown trees are from this past winter. They all look great!
Now it is spring time and we’re forced into quarantine due to the Coronavirus. So to stay occupied, I’m creating new garden beds. More to come on that.
My baby!! I’ve grown this one from seed, a 3.5 year journey so far. Can’t wait for her to keep growing!
