Growing your own salads- Part 4

Planting the containers:

While we only have a 2.5 x 4 foot garden, the local dollar store also provided 6 large size planters for the tomato and pepper plants. Since these are in the front garden each container has a mix of plants with different colours, shapes, and sizes to make them visually appealing.
