Pots, Bags or Border Growing? Plant Halos is best!

Growing in Pots

For peppers, both sweet and chilli, I've found 20 cm (8”) pots are the best. Because they don't grow too tall, I double stack them with some at floor level and some on top of the staging.

Small cucumber varieties such as Picolino, Zeina and Cucino do well in pots, usually on staging and allowed to trail. Larger varieties such as Carmen or Tiffany can be grown in pots but you'll need a large one. I've used builder's buckets with holes drilled in for drainage as large pots. Ideally, the large varieties go in the border or giant grow bag.

Aubergines need a large pot to give of their best, as with the large cucumbers go for the border or giant grow-bag.

All the cordon types of tomatoes will do well in pots, just a little larger than those for peppers. I find 25 cm (10”) pots perfect for them. Cherry bush tomatoes will also do well in pots or hanging baskets. They can be started in the greenhouse and put outside for the summer and brought back into the greenhouse as the season cools.
