Other annual flowers that perform well in the sun in containers include: madness petunias and balcon geraniums (an incredible show of red or rose pink). Growing some containers full of flowers in the shade? Here are a couple of my favorites. Try tuberous begonias (sometimes called tuber rose) - abso- lutely gorgeous colors in the full range of the rainbow. . ' In , \John SIMKINS Tuberous bezonias love cool soil reasonably damp. In fact, damp soil, and shady locations. Plant them in patio soil mix, now famous for its water retention ability and its rich organic goodness. If you're looking for something low maintenance for the shade, try fibrous begonias. Remember to fertilize all your annu- a1 flowers with Transplanter 5-15-5 fertilizer at the time of planting and to encourage new feeding roots. Then, fertilize with water soluble 20-20-20 every two weeks through the summer months. Growing vegetables in containers? Try Whopper tomato. But only if you have a large container like a 14-inch clay or a half barrel. For smaller con- tainers, try sweet one million or sweet one hundred cherry tomatoes, With more Vitamin C per pound than citrus fruit, sweet one million has WHOPPER TOMATO taken the tomato market by storm over the last two or three years. You can stake them or just allow them to trail out over the brim of the container, and pick literally hundreds of cherry-size super sweet tomatoes beginning in mid-season. And remember, always plant tomatoes in a sunny spot. Other vegetables that lend them- selves to container growing include: sweet green Whopper pepper, butter crunch bib lettuce, and cucumbers, but only for hot sunny locations, and always planted in patio mix for best results.
