..are having a rough time....... wfwf
...you need aquatic gardens :P :P :P :P
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...... huh....we planted in big planters and 'fivers' this year....so there is hope.... huh
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......
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!.. huh

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