I'd like to try my hand at gardening, but wanted to start small, so I plan to try container gardening this year. So far I'd like to try: tomatoes, lettuce, potatoes, herbs and strawberries. We have a ton of empty mineral tubs that I think would be perfect for container gardening. I plan to drill holes in the bottoms for drainage and keep them on our back deck which gets midday-afternoon sun. I also feed birds off this deck, so netting is on my list of things to get! Any tips or tricks? I'm located in Ohio/Zone 6 for reference.
Also, I'd love to try any recipes you recommend - I'd like to try freezing things such as pasta sauces, berries, and also drying and storing the herbs. I'm not quite ready to try canning yet!
