    Default Where Can I Learn About Container Gardening?

    Being an apartment dweller in Canada makes gardening tricky. Where would I go for good information regarding container gardening? Something a complete beginner can comprehend.

    my problem with container gardening is how quickly the containers dry out.

    We get 95-100 degree days and by the time I get home from work the flowers are drooping.
