CHINESE CONTAINER GARDENS
If you're particularly proud of the philodendron in your office that has climbed over
the door and is rapidly heading for the other wall, visualize instead a Chinese cucumber
vine rampant all over your window. The vine, and its fresh crisp fruit, will astonish your
coworkers.
Container gardening is something you can enjoy on a city windowsill, a balcony, or a
country patio. Container gardening with Chinese vegetables is even more practical, easi-
er, and more fun than growing ordinary vegetables. Even if you garden in the ground,
you may want to start seeds indoors in containers to get a jump on the growing season.
