What's up everyone? Welcome back to the show. Today we're talking about easy fruits to grow in pots because like I've mentioned before

0:09.7

It can be a little discouraging if you're in an urban environment at least to think about your fruit production.

0:15.9

That's a more challenging thing to do. It requires a little more patience, a little more space,
