Tips for container gardening

Published on January 18, 2026

Parsley, chives, cilantro and tarragon are easy enough to grow if you are just getting started with container gardening. These are very delicious in many dishes as well. Make sure your containers have proper drainage holes. Ideally you want to use loose and lightweight gardening soil. You want to use either a water-soluble fertilizer or slow release fertilizer for when the seeds are planted. Make sure you know what kind of sunlight the plant you are growing needs.

Key Takeaways:

  • Cilantro, tarragon, and parsley are useful in the kitchen and easily grown in containers.
  • Several vegetables, including tomatoes, cucumbers, and even lettuce are all well-suited for container gardening.
  • Your containers should have adequate size and drainage, and should be filled with dedicated potting soil.
