Living in the Pacific NW, USA is a good reason many times to grow your plants and vegetables in containers as our growing season is much shorter than many parts of the country. Containers full of dirt (especially dark containers) will heat up much quicker than dirt in the ground.


I also love that I can have the containers raised to any level I want so that I don't have to spend so much time bending and stooping to tend my vegetables.


This article Novice Gardeners Best Start With Containers by Anne Watson talks about choosing the right container for your needs and how starting your gardening ventures in containers may be a good idea. Watson says that condo and apartment dwellers needn't give up growing their own vegetables just because they are limited in space. 


I agree! I have grown vegetables and herbs in containers for many years and am still doing so even though we have plenty of room for in ground gardening.
