      INTRODUCTION

      It’s been a pleasure compiling this container gardening guide for you. I’ve been gardening for over 50 years, and this guide is the accumulation of many years of experience. I’ve kept a garden journal for as long as I can remember, and now that I am downsizing my life, I needed to decide what to do with these years of journals. I wrote this guide for myself, and then decided it might be just the book other people might be looking for, so I decided to publish it for public use.

      This container gardening calendar will be of help to you as your garden grows larger every year. Container gardening is addictive, and if the container bug grabs you, you will always be on the lookout for a new container or garden spot to fill.

      There are many variations in each gardening area. Check the monthly lists both before and after the current month to see if these procedures are more in line with your local gardening schedules.

      State extension offices are a great resource for gardeners. They have free materials and classes in all types of farming and gardening techniques. Search for your County Office Extension Area on Google to find your local office.

      There are many ways of finding the correct information for your area. You can do research online. You can ask questions at your local nursery or garden center. Your local gardening clubs are always ready to answer your gardening queries. You can also ask advice from your neighborhood gardener if you have any questions or doubts about the timing of any listed tasks in a certain month.

      JANUARY

      Since this month stands for new beginnings, your container gardening calendar for January focuses on planning for a new season. If the seed catalogs haven't arrived by now, they'll show up in your mailbox shortly. What a great way to spend a winter evening - sitting in a warm, cozy house, curled up with your favorite beverage and a pile of seed catalogs, dreaming of the perfect garden you will have next season!

      Ordering seeds is one area where you do
