Patio Vegetable Garden Setup and Tips to Get Growing
If you’re looking for a way to grow food that doesn’t involve a half acre of land and a strong back, consider setting up a patio vegetable garden. All you need to start growing today is a sunny spot on a relatively level surface, some containers, potting soil, and the right veggies. In this article, I’ll walk you through the process of setting up and maintaining a patio vegetable garden of your own.
How big should a patio vegetable garden be?
As a horticulturist, I grow dozens of containers filled with veggies on my patio every season, but there’s no need to create something so extensive.
Start with just a few pots your first year, and plan to expand your garden as you learn how to grow. Of course, if you want to dive in and go big right out the gate, go for it. Thankfully, patio vegetable gardening isn’t super expensive, nor does it require a ton of labor beyond the initial set up. Yes, you will have to care for your plants all season long (more on how to do this in a bit), but maintenance is minimal when compared to an in-ground garden.
When determining the size of your patio vegetable garden ask yourself the following questions:
- How many people are in your family?
- Do you know how many different veggies you want to grow?
- Do you have a lot of time to care for the plants in the summer?
- How much space do you have?
Plan with the answers to these questions in mind, and remember there will be a learning curve to deal with, too. We have tons of vegetable gardening resources here on Savvy Gardening that walk you through the growing and plant care process for almost any crop you’d like to grow.
How much sun does a patio vegetable garden need?
The majority of vegetables and herbs grow best in full sun. That means when seeking out the ideal site for a patio vegetable garden, choose a location that receives a minimum of 8 hours of full sun per day. And remember… a patio vegetable garden doesn’t actually have to be on a patio. Feel free to set up the garden on a porch, deck, driveway, parking pad, or patio. Any relatively sunny, level spot will do.
If you don’t have a spot with full sun, don’t fret! You can still have a productive garden; you’ll just have to adjust what you grow. Leafy green vegetables, like lettuce, kale, and chard, and some root crops, like carrots and radish, grow fine with as little as 4 to 6 hours of sun. However, if you’d like to grow heat-loving vegetables like tomatoes, peppers, beans, and squash, you’ll want to choose the sunniest spot possible.
One nice feature of a patio vegetable garden is that you can make it mobile. Use wheeled planters and pot dollies to move the containers from one side of the patio to the other each day to increase their light exposure. Follow the sun if that’s what’s required for the plants to receive maximum light.
Warm-season crops, such as peppers, cucumbers, and tomatoes, require full sun growing conditions.Other location considerations
Another feature to be on the lookout for when choosing where to put your patio vegetable garden is a water source. Lugging full watering cans is a job that gets old fast. And you’ll be watering your garden a lot once summer’s heat arrives. If possible, keep the garden close to the spigot so it’s easy to turn on the hose and water your garden every day. Vegetables are thirsty plants, and you’ll be spending a lot of time watering them during summer’s heat (more on watering later in this article).
Lastly, when choosing your site, don’t forget to look up.
If your home’s eaves extend out over the patio, don’t put your patio vegetable garden right up against the house. Rainfall will never reach the pots if they’re tucked under the eaves. While rain most likely won’t be your primary source of irrigation water during the summer, the occasional heavy downpour does help reduce how often you’ll have to water with the hose.
How to choose the best containers
Now that you know where to site your patio garden, it’s time to consider the types and sizes of containers to use. You can grow in any type of container, as long as there is a drainage hole in the bottom. Plastic and glazed ceramic are two of my favorite options. When it comes to the size of the pots, always err on the larger side. The more soil a pot holds, the less often you’ll have to water, and bigger pots mean more room for roots to grow.
How large should patio vegetable garden containers be?
Here’s a guide to pot sizes from my book Container Gardening Complete. Use it to determine what size container each plant in your patio vegetable needs:
-
- 10-15 gallons minimum for each extra-large vegetable, such as full-sized indeterminate tomatoes, winter squash, pumpkins, melons, and artichokes.
- 8-10 gallons minimum for each large fruit or vegetable plant. This includes peppers, eggplants, tomatillos, dwarf blueberry bushes, cucumbers, summer squash/zucchini, and bush-type winter squash varieties.
- 5-8 gallons minimum for each medium-sized vegetable or flowering plant. This includes cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, bush-type cucumbers, determinate tomatoes (often called patio tomatoes), and okra.
- 1-2 gallons minimum for each small-statured or micro-sized vegetable. This includes kohlrabi, lettuce, kale, chard, collards, spinach, true micro tomatoes, and other greens.
Individual herb plants fit into this category as well.
- Plants that are usually grown in a group, such as bush beans, peas, and edible roots, such as carrots, beets, radish, onions, and turnips, can be planted in almost any sized container, as long as the seeds or plants are spaced at the appropriate distance for optimum growth (as noted on the plant tag or seed packet) and the pot is deep enough for the roots to have ample room to grow. The smaller the pot is, though, the fewer seeds or plants it can house.
If you plan to combine different plants together into the same pot, then add the target soil volumes listed above together to ensure there’s enough room for all of the plants in the container to produce an ample root system. For example, if you want to combine a full-sized tomato plant with a pepper plant and a few herbs, you’ll need a container that holds at least 20-28 gallons of potting mix.
Obviously the specific variety of any given vegetable is also closely tied to the size container it needs, so these are guidelines, not rules; there’s no doubt you’ll need a far bigger pot for a standard-sized tomato than you will for a dwarf-type tomato, but it’s always best to err on the side of a larger container.
The best soil for a patio vegetable garden
When growing in containers, don’t use soil from the ground. It doesn’t drain well and is very heavy. Instead, use potting soil. There are many brands of potting soil on the market and some are better quality than others. Your local garden center likely has several brands to choose from. I suggest using an organic potting soil when growing vegetable plants. Choose a high-quality organic potting soil and mix it with some compost or worm castings to bulk it up, add organic matter, and improve its water-holding capacity.
If you want to save money and create your own high-quality potting mix, here are the recipes I use to mix up my own DIY potting soil every year.
Making my own potting soil for my patio vegetable garden saves me a lot of money every year.
The best vegetables for a patio vegetable garden
While you can grow just about any vegetable in a pot, not all varieties are suited to growing in tight quarters. Whenever possible, choose compact vegetable varieties for your patio vegetable garden. Most produce full-sized vegetables but on plants that stay smaller and are better suited to container growing. Check out this article for a complete list of the best vegetable varieties for a patio vegetable garden. In it, you’ll find compact selections for just about every veggie out there.
Compact varieties, such as ‘Baby Pak Choi’ and ‘Micro Tom’ tomato, are just a few inches tall. They are the perfect fit for a patio food garden.Patio vegetable garden design ideas
Once you’ve decided where to place your garden and what you’ll grow, it’s time to get creative! Patio vegetable gardens can be really beautiful when planted in gorgeous colorful pots.
Or, they can be strictly utilitarian when planted in plastic bins and tubs. If you want to get creative and build a patio vegetable garden with flair, here are three of my favorite patio garden design ideas worth considering.
Purchase wide, low pots in 4 or 5 different graduated sizes. Fill the pots and then stack them on top of each other to create a tiered food fountain for a corner of the patio or deck. Fill the pots with a mixture of edible greens, herbs, and compact tomato and pepper varieties. This is also a great way to grow strawberries.
Tiered containers stacked on top of each other and planted with vegetable plants makes a great patio food garden.Milk crate gardenIf you’re on a budget, consider growing your patio vegetable garden in repurposed milk crates. Line the crates with landscape fabric, burlap, or another porous fabric, fill them with soil, and get planting. You can even plant through the holes in the sides of the crate if you’d like.
To grow multiple layers and maximize space, stack the crates checkerboard-style to create a “wall” of vegetable plants.
Metal livestock troughs make great patio planters. They come in a range of sizes and have a removable drain plug so you don’t have to drill holes in the bottom for drainage. Each stock tank can house multiple plants and become a patio vegetable garden in just an hour or two.
Galvanized stock tanks make great planters for decks, porches, and patios.Watering your patio vegetable garden
Once your patio containers have been planted, it doesn’t mean it’s time to sit back and relax. You still have to take care of the plants if you expect them to produce. Watering is always the biggest maintenance task when growing a patio vegetable garden. Do not neglect this task or take short cuts! Water your pots deeply as often as they need it.
In the summertime, that means daily. Don’t splash a little water on the soil and call it good enough. Hold the running hose directly on the soil of each pot for several minutes. Allow the water to penetrate deeply and drain out the hole in the bottom of the pot. Repeat this two or three times per pot when the weather is hot and dry. You’ll find more watering tips here.
This video shows you how to properly water a patio pot, no matter what you’re growing.
Fertilizing a patio food garden
The next necessary task is fertilization. If you used an organic potting soil that contains a natural, slow-release fertilizer, you won’t have to fertilize again until mid to late summer. I suggest using a liquid organic fertilizer for the job. Mix it in a watering can every 3 to 4 weeks and fertilize as you water. For more on the best fertilizers for a patio vegetable garden, please read this article.
Don’t forget to provide support for plants that need it. Here, a wooden teepee supports pole bean plants.
Support and harvest your plants
In addition to watering and fertilizing, provide support for any plants that need it. Use a tomato cage, trellis, or stake to hold tall plants upright. If you want them to trail over the edge of the container (which is fine, too!), skip this step.
The last task is to harvest your patio vegetable garden regularly. I head out to the garden every morning to inspect my plants and pick what’s ripe. Many vegetables produce better when regularly harvested, including beans, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, and zucchini.
Enjoy the bounty of your new patio vegetable garden. Plan to expand it each season and enjoy the process. Yes, you’ll make a few mistakes along the way, but it’s part of the process. Live and learn… and enjoy the fruits of your efforts.
Lettuce makes a great addition to a patio vegetable garden. It can be harvested repeatedly by cutting off the leaves and leaving the growing point intact to regrow.Here’s more on growing healthy and productive vegetable plants:

Patio, terrace - patio decor
04.11.2020
Not everyone immediately understands what a patio is on a plot, but if you say - a terrace, then everything immediately falls into place. I have identified this post in the "Home Design" section. Although, of course, the patio can be not only a continuation of the house, which visually expands its size, but also simply a separately located open area or a multi-stage terrace; with a few outdoor plastic furniture or pergolas. In any case, the site must have a "floor" made of a special paving material, usually the same as garden paths. nine0003
The patio serves as both a relaxation area and an “al fresco living room” (that is, you can receive guests there), so when you arrange it, you pursue two goals: practicality and decoration of the garden, plot or house. The work will require a lot of time and money, and this post will help you learn the main points in the patio.
You will see photos of the patio, both classic, without a canopy, and closed; and they are now gaining more and more popularity.
In order not to slow down the loading of the page, of course, not all photos are presented here. See even more patio options in the album Patio, terrace - patio decor. nine0003
A classic patio is a block or tiled area, fully or partially surrounded by a wall. But as you will see in the photos, design ideas have significantly transformed the classics.
We start planning and looking for a place under the patio
- Approach the work scrupulously: you need to decide for yourself what the main function of the patio will be, what shape it will be, what material will pave the area, what material will carry the main decor, and what becomes secondary, but not second-rate, etc. The terrace can become a multi-purpose place, and you need to know about this in advance. When choosing a place, decide whether it will be a multi-level terrace or a flat area. nine0018
- It is customary to consider that a sunny area of the garden or the side of the house is chosen for the patio.
But still, the main criterion when choosing a place will be: do YOU like it. Consider your lifestyle, your family and even your neighbors, because not everyone wants to hear loud music or barking dogs in the moments of your rest. - If you liked the place, then observe whether it is located on the leeward side of the house or on the "seven winds", how long the sun "fries" there. After analyzing this, you will take care of a canopy or a decorative lattice in advance, and perhaps you will not cut down some trees or, on the contrary, plant new ones. nine0018
- You can walk around the site, put up pegs and stretch a rope, even put up simple furniture - a light table and chairs - and sit. You are happy? So the place has been found!
Decide what your patio is for
- Whether it's a small paved area in the garden or an extension to your house, where you can set up a sun lounger and parasol and enjoy sitting with a magazine or a cup of coffee. Then the patio will serve as your private room under the sun and can be very simple to set up.
nine0018 - But if you go further and make a terrace for receiving guests by installing a pergola, a table and a few chairs, or maybe small sofas, then you will need additional square meters of the site and decoration elements, for example: comfortable permanent furniture, tiered flower beds, plants in containers and even the presence of a reservoir.
- Also consider that for an open patio without a canopy, you need to make or purchase furniture from a material that is resistant to rain and sunlight or is sufficiently mobile, light but durable. nine0018
Continuation of the photos in the album Patio, terrace - patio decor.
Now you can decide on the size and shape of the patio
- Of course, on a small patio it will not be possible to equip a large terrace, since at least 6-7 m² is already required for a comfortable rest of two people. But it is quite possible to attach an external kitchen unit to a small patio, something like a “summer kitchen”, to install containers with herbs and flowers outside it - this way you will visually expand the area.
nine0018 - When choosing the shape and size of the patio, coordinate it with the dimensions of the slabs, blocks, bricks, so that you have to chop them as little as possible, fitting them to the contour of the site.
- The shape of the terrace next to the house should continue the lines of the building, so if the house is rectangular, then the patio is built rectangular; but if your house has a rounded outline, then the platform cannot be straight. But in the garden, a separate patio can be of various configurations.
- Remember: the straight shape of the platform makes it easier to lay the slabs. nine0018
We bridge and decorate the patio
- Today, the choice of material for covering the "floor" of the terrace is huge. If you already have paved paths in your garden, then choose the same material for the patio. If you want to achieve a more attractive effect, use a couple more types of coverage in addition to the main one. But keep in mind that the material from which your tracks are already made should prevail.
If there are no more paved ones, the material is selected “to match” the house. The flooring should not be clumsy and ripple in the eyes. For example, for patios with brick, stone or slabs, gravel or cobblestone inserts are suitable. nine0018 - The easiest way to lay slabs. For brick and block flooring, first make a solid border of wood or concrete. Using shields from boards, stack them in a checkerboard pattern and be sure to treat with an antiseptic.
- Definitely, no loose materials or cobblestones are used for the "floor" of the terrace.
- Decorating a patio can start already at the construction stage: it's easy enough to get an interesting look if you arrange the patio on several levels.
- The decor often includes not only furniture, but also container plants, raised flower beds (no higher than 45 cm), climbing plants on a trellis, a fountain (homemade or purchased), pergola, artificial or real fireplace, barbecue, beautiful lighting is a must ( lanterns, flashlights, torches) and, of course, decorating fabrics, curtains, tablecloths.
nine0018 - But don't go overboard with accessories. Decorations should not be intrusive, but an empty patio will look boring. If there are too few decorative elements, then you cannot avoid the feeling of emptiness, and a large number of them can lead to a feeling of “pressing tightness”.
And finally. If you do not have experience, it is better to hire specialists. When choosing among firms specializing in landscape design, compare not only their prices, but also the scale of services, reviews about them on the Internet; read the contract carefully. nine0003
If building a patio isn't going to be a difficult job for you, then don't forget about helpers: you can't do without a couple of auxiliary workers. And have fun doing your job, as patio framing will add appeal to your patio, create a relaxing atmosphere and become another element of your garden landscaping.
Terrace: how to make it cozy
You can live in complete harmony with yourself and the world around you only in a cozy and comfortable home.
However, without being a professional designer, it is very difficult to create conditions that would suit your own tastes and needs. Imagination draws pictures of the future interior, but in practice it turns out that everything turned out not at all as expected. When arranging a country house, great importance is given to the terrace, since in this room you can relax, meet guests, play with children. What advice do experts give? nine0003
Terrace - relaxation room
It is possible to turn a terrace into a cozy relaxation room, regardless of its area. When solving this issue, it is important to choose the right furniture. Transformers are offered in shops and markets. These are structures that can serve a variety of purposes. For example, a table with a flick of the wrist can turn into a place to sit, and a closet into a bed.
Artificial rattan and aluminum are considered the best materials for making furniture for rooms such as terraces, as they retain their strength and original appearance for a long time, and at the same time do not require painstaking maintenance.Such furnishings are not afraid of the vagaries of the weather and the influence of harmful environmental factors. nine0083
The terrace is most often used as a relaxation room and gatherings with friends. In this case, rattan sofas, which can withstand a lot of weight, are a good choice. This furniture is easy to clean, and some models have plenty of storage space. Products from this material, as practice shows, fits perfectly into any interior, as you can find high-tech and classic options in various colors on sale. Dimensions can also be completely different: for small and large rooms. nine0003
Those who love solitude and silence should pay attention to rocking chairs. Swinging in them, you can enjoy aromatic coffee, read a book, enjoying the view from the window. A good alternative to these chairs are hanging options that help save space, as they are attached to the ceiling. Before buying, ask how much weight the hanging chairs can withstand, how reliable their fastenings are.
If you are going to spend time on the terrace with your children or in a small friendly company, then install rocking chairs there. nine0083Terrace is a room where design experiments can be carried out. Do you want something unusual? Then show your imagination when arranging the floor. The best material for it is considered to be natural wood, which can be combined with artificial turf and decorative stones. The field for creativity is endless here, and to get a hint, go to the expanses of the World Wide Web and just look at the pictures. A good solution is to combine materials. Such a technique exists for zoning space. nine0003
If you want more privacy, install partitions. It is not necessary to build deaf and opaque walls. To make the terrace light and airy, use glass products. Anyone who wants complete privacy will do the right thing if they install walls of logs with small gaps between them, which will help the space to "breathe".
Use a pergola to enhance your terrace.
This design performs two functions. Firstly, it gives a shadow, and, secondly, it serves to bind climbing houseplants. nine0003
Greenery is the best decoration for any room, and when it comes to the terrace, it is hard to do without it. When your plants mature and grow, the terrace will turn into a real garden.
Terrace as a living room
This room can serve not only as a relaxation room, but also as a living and dining area. If you are interested in the living room, then pick up furniture that will give it solidity. These are sofas upholstered in bright or white fabric, wooden cabinets and tables. For the living room, both one large table and several small tables for tea drinking are suitable. Complete them with puffs, banquettes, a beautiful chest of drawers for dishes. nine0003
Recently, it has become very fashionable to place chests in rooms that are used to store various things. Perhaps such items will not look too harmonious in the apartment, but on the terrace they are in the right place.
Chests can be placed under windows or attached to sofas as an addition. If necessary, they can be used instead of chairs.
The terrace serving as a living room is the most suitable place for a fireplace. The type of terrace (open or closed) does not matter, since fireplaces differ in design and purpose. In the fresh air, smoke and fumes quickly dissipate, so you can install a wood-burning option. Do you just want to decorate the room? Then opt for an electric fireplace. Its cost is much lower, and it is easier to install. nine0003
Terrace-dining room
The large terrace can be divided into zones, equipping it with a place for eating. Set up a comfortable table and chairs or stools. Modern stores sell whole sets of country furniture - make your choice in this segment. An addition to the dining area will be a grill or barbecue. If the terrace is open, build a simple roof over the eating area. This is in case not to move with guests and dishes into the room when it starts to rain during the feast.
An alternative to the roof will be a tent or a special huge umbrella. nine0003
How to decorate the terrace
The room will be boring if you don't add decorative elements to it. The more flowers appear on your terrace, the better. Here they will look as harmonious as possible if you give preference to curly species, which eventually turn into hedges and a roof.
If there is not enough room for planters on the floor, hang up a planter. Recently, green walls have come into fashion, which are equipped not only on terraces, but also in houses and apartments. nine0003
Owners of covered terraces are advised to use as many textiles as possible. Hang curtains: on glazed terraces they will save you from the scorching sun, and on open ones they will protect you from wind and precipitation. In addition to the curtains, the pillows laid out on the sofas are ideal. They will give comfort, besides, these items can be used for their intended purpose, if you want to relax during the day.
