One nice thing about a container garden is if it gets too cold you can move it indoors. The only bad part is moving it. I don't have much growing yet but moved in some of my pots inside when it got down to 39º.
The big pot in the back is a cherry tomato and several sweet onions planted from a set. Next to it in the light green is another cherry tomato. Up front in the dark green is picklebush cucumbers. Blue and silver is sweet onion.
Potting seedlings
I was not expecting every seed planted was going to survive. Now I have a couple leftover cherry tomato seedlings and a Roma tomato need to be moved to pots.
Planting the seedlings in the Grodan rockwool blocks is super easy. When roots start coming out the sides of the rockwool it is time to go into the dirt, hydroponic or aquaponic system. Put a thin layer of rocks in the bottom. Then fill up the pot with dirt then place the cube on the dirt.
Make sure the tomatoes are in deep so when you backfill with dirt only a little bit of the stem is visible. I place a thin layer of mulch on top as well.
