For those who think their space for a garden is too small, have hope. Ours is very tiny, but most everything is doing well. Just harvested our garlic; the heads are small as that part of the garden got the least amount of light, but it's still thrilling to see that they grew at all. The Cherokee Purple tomatoes and Brandywine Pinks are doing very well, with scores of maters on them, however, still very small.

The Freckles lettuce is fabulous. We've had salads for weeks now (we're doing the cut and come again) and it's still going strong. We've got about six or seven sunflowers, peppers, pole beans [for the first time], and sweet potatoes in containers [can't imagine they'll be too big, but we're giving it a shot]. So happy it's not -15, however, in the Chicagoland area, we've had tons of rain the last couple of days and part of our yard is still under water.

Nice thing about the containers, when it rains too much they don’t get water logged. I like the ones that have a resevoir in the bottom especially for this reason.
