MINNEAPOLIS / ST. PAUL (05/21/2009) — Nothing tastes better than homegrown vegetables, but many people simply don’t have the time or the space for a backyard garden. Container gardening offers the possibility of enjoying fresh herbs and vegetables without many of the hassles that come with a traditional garden.

In this video, University of Minnesota Extension Educator Karl Foord shows how simple it is to turn a patio, deck or balcony into your very own vegetable haven.
