Green peppers are good neighbors for tomato plants. Grow one in front of a tomato trellis for a charming contrast in color and size. Of course, red peppers (especially the small ones) add as much spice to a vegetable container garden as they do to your menus!

Don't cramp the style of your vegetable container garden. How well your vegetables produce depends on the room you give them to grow. In addition, be sure that you plant mixed vegetables with compatible and friendly neighbors.

Each variety should be similar in light, water, and nutrient needs as well as temperament. For instance, if you're tempted to add an herb like mint to your vegetable container garden, don't! Mint is a very competitive and invasive plant that will stage a take over and deplete your vegetable savings in no time!
