Your planter's foliage will begin to wilt and drop when it gets cold enough. You may need to add a few more plants to the container to get the desired effect.

Your plants will still have a place to grow until the ground freezes.
Fall container gardening is a great time to experiment and use different colors, textures, or flowering plants. Mixing perennials with annuals is a great idea. You can also mix and match textures. You can make a change in the appearance of a space by grouping containers. This is especially useful when your favorite fall plants start to fade, so you can simply move them to a container that looks better.

How much space do vegetable gardens need?
A good rule of thumb is that one square foot of soil requires 1/2 pound of seed. So if you have an area of 10 feet by 10 feet (3 meters by 3 meters), you'll need 100 pounds of seeds.
Do I have to purchase special equipment in order to grow vegetables on my own?
No, not really. All you need to do is use a shovel, trowels, watering containers, and maybe even a rake.
