I have limited space; too many trees/not enough sunlight so I grow a few roma tomatoes and an assortment of peppers and one hill of cukes. This year I'm experimenting with a few peppers grown in containers. These little red hot chilis are in containers.

If I had the space, I would grown mostly in raised beds. I do compost. My main method of preservation is dehydration. I am skilled at canning, but prefer the space saving convenience of dried foods.
FReegards!
Nice healthy pepper plant. Container growing is great for those with limited space and for those who might not be able to physically maintain a larger garden.
