First Time Container Gardening

Growing up I had access to a backyard where my parents let me go wild and plant whatever I felt like that year. Sometimes I had a great harvest, other times, not so much, but until this year, I've never container gardened before. its not as easy as it looks. I've learned a lot this year that I'm going to apply to next year, which in the end is the most important I suppose, keep learning and improving. However, I am disappointed that my yield was not as big Ias I was hoping. Oh well.
