I want to start my own little edible garden. But I’m not sure where to start. Should I make raised garden beds or use pots? Any other advice is appreciated. 🙂

We did giant pots (42L) for our tomatoes instead of raised beds bc we didn’t want the hassle of cleaning up the soil at the end of the summer. (It snows a lot where I’m from)

Ok, thank you!

My advice is to keep whatever you’re growing in a greenhouse or at least cover it! Depending on where you live, animals will most likely be around and munching on your plants! I live in Missouri and the rabbits and birds are always in the garden

Okay, yes we have a lot of deer and they eat everything and anything

I put my plants in a really small greenhouse so it didn’t get over water by the rain because we have a lot of rain where I’m from
