Cabbage need a deep root system compared to other vegetables, I suggest about 16" depth for container. For reference, a plastic half whiskey barrel usually measures about 17.5" deep by 26" in diameter ( this would closely equal a square container measuring 16"x16"x24" ) and holds just under 25 gallons of soil. So you could grow about 12 Dynamo plants in a half whiskey barrel.
Use a slow release fertilize like Osmocote 14-14-14 that is found at almost any gardening center, Lowes, Home Depot, Wal-mart, etc.

Try to space your carrot seeds about 1 inch apart in rows that are 6 inches apart. Pat the seeds into the damp potting soil to ensure good soil-to-seed contact and then cover them with a very light layer of soil. Water the carrots in with a gentle stream of water, being careful not to dislodge the seeds. Carrot seeds are very tiny, so don't worry if you end up seeding them thickly. You'll have to thin them out as they grow anyway.

Notes from Jim: As a rule of thumb, allow about 5 gallons of soil per plant when determining container you will use for growing the melons listed below.
I use a trellis on my melons, I just have to be sure to secure vines to the trellis extremely well once fruits start to develop, this keeps the fruit from pulling the vine from the trellis.
Melons need a deep root system compared to other vegetables, I suggest about 16" depth for container. For reference, a plastic half whiskey barrel usually measures about 17.5" deep by 26" in diameter ( this would closely equal a square container measuring 16"x16"x24" ) and holds just under 25 gallons of soil. So you could grow about 4-5 melon plants in a half whiskey barrel.

Notes from Jim: As a rule of thumb, allow about 2 gallons of soil per plant when determining container you will use for most standard size pepper plants, but only about 1-1/4 gallons per plant for the varieties listed below.
I suggest about 12-16" depth for containers. For reference, a plastic half whiskey barrel usually measures about 17.5" deep by 26" in diameter ( this would closely equal a square container measuring 16"x16"x24" ) and holds just under 25 gallons of soil. So you could grow about 15 pepper plants ( varieties listed below ) in a half whiskey barrel, but I do not like to crowd mine, and would only plant 5-7, and grow different types in the same container that reach different heights.
Use a slow release fertilize like Osmocote 14-14-14 that is found at almost any gardening center, Lowes, Home Depot, Wal-mart, etc.

I suggest about 12-16" depth for containers. For reference, a plastic half whiskey barrel usually measures about 17.5" deep by 26" in diameter ( this would closely equal a square container measuring 16"x16"x24" ) and holds just under 25 gallons of soil. So you could grow about 15 squash plants ( varieties listed below ) in a half whiskey barrel, but because they love to spread so much, I would recommend only planting 5 or 6.

Use a slow release fertilize like Osmocote 14-14-14 that is found at almost any gardening center, Lowes, Home Depot, Wal-mart, etc.
1A334 Burgundy Swiss Chard

Notes from Jim: Yes, you can grow tobacco in tubs. As a rule of thumb, allow about 5 gallons of soil per plant when determining container you will use for most standard size tobacco plants.
I suggest 18" depth minimum for containers. For reference, a plastic half whiskey barrel usually measures about 17.5" deep by 26" in diameter ( this would closely equal a square container measuring 16"x16"x24" ) and holds just under 25 gallons of soil. So you could grow about 5 tobacco plants in a half whiskey barrel, but I do not like to crowd mine, and would only plant 4 plants, which would each produce about 4 ounces of dried tobacco, enough for a carton of cigarettes.
We offer about 30 different varieties of Tobacco Seed.

For reference, a plastic half whiskey barrel usually measures about 17.5" deep by 26" in diameter ( this would closely equal a square container measuring 16"x16"x24" ) and holds just under 25 gallons of soil. So you could grow about 8 pepper plants ( varieties listed below ) in a half whiskey barrel, but would probably be better served giving them room to spread and only planting 5-6.

By: Sara Begg Townsend & Roanne Robbins
Paper, 224 pages, 9 x 8 3/4, full-color photographs, Storey Publishing, ISBN 1-60342-702-3
Container gardens are the most popular form of gardening, and it's easy to see why—they're simple to plant, quick-growing, and perfect for small spaces. It's no wonder containers have become a must-have outdoor decor element from suburban porches to the rooftops of modern high-rise buildings. But too often, containers peak during just one season and are then left to wither for the remaining months of the year. In Continuous Container Gardens, garden designers Sara Begg Townsend and Roanne Robbins have teamed up to offer an innovative system for creating stylish containers that change with the seasons. Using an unusual array of plants, Townsend and Robbins begin with a main stage plant—a woody plant garden ornament, or eye-catching perennial. Then they add a secondary player for texture and variety. As the seasons change, they show how easy it is to swap in and out a supporting cast of plants for a dynamic year-round display. This simple approach yeilds endless variations, seasonal bursts of color, and varied textures that echo the ever-changing beauty of natue. The book features twelve designer containers, each with a unique plan for swapping plants in every season...for a total of 48 looks in all. Each design is supported with stunning photographs of the authors' unique plant palette and the fully realized container garden. Readers will learn to develop their own design eye and style alongside their gardening skills. The authors' writing style is fresh, friendly, and encouraging and is sure to appeal to a new generation of homeowners and gardeners. With Continuous Container Gardens, gardeners of every level, in every setting, will be able to ceate a container scene for every season.
