When I worked at the information and help desk at a garden center, a man came in who was growing an unbelievable selection of vegetables IN POTS! He wanted help transitioning to in ground growing. We were so impressed with what he was accomplishing in pots, we told him not to worry, and he would do well. Gardening in pots is great training. Remember: Many crops start out with a potted plant. When you are farming, your "starts" are very important. You want strong healthy plants with 100% potential.
Keep going. Your way of starting works. That's how I started, 46 years ago, because I lived in an apartment. You will connect with the plants and tune into their needs. If a farmer doesn't have that, they shouldn't be farming!
Thanks for your wise words. Currently I am save tin cans and the like to get things rolling not keep on buy loads of plastic pot. Skips and upcycling is going to be my way. Just hope ti all works :)
Well loads currently I am attempting to grow in pots but we have had so much rain it appear pointless at the moment!
