[Mugwump]

[Ron Sower]

...you need aquatic gardens 

[LizStreithorst]

With all the rain you've had, I'm not surprised.

....we have about 4 nice jalapeno peppers on one plant and a few making on another......MMMM.....only see three tomatoes making but quite a few blossoms,,,,so it won't be a bust if the plants have recovered...... ....we planted in big planters and 'fivers' this year....so there is hope....

I'm not doing any better with my stuff in pots.  I am waiting until next year when I will plant my raised beds for the first time.

...fivers work very well...but ya have to remember to pop lotsa drainage holes......

[LizStreithorst]

I don't know what fivers are and I don't care.  I like to grow my veggies in the dirt.  It will be hard for me to make my clay gravel  suitable for plants but I can do it.  I need to wait for fall so I can add leaves and manure and a sprinkling of cottonseed meal on the very bottom to make the worms want to come up and help decompose stuff more.

My  two little 4 by 8 raised beds  are a long term project, not the fast easy way.  Just think of all the time I will be making my body stronger by tackling a difficult task.

...he probably is referring to 5 gallon buckets...my guess!..

...you mentioned  having pots now.....I was just saying what we did this year....sheesh....yes, 5 gallon buckets...

[LizStreithorst]

I have 'maters in 5 gallon buckets.  They're making some tomatoes.  Not a bumper crop but I should get some.  I want to do it in the real ground.
