I also plant a couple large pots of salad greens that I try to keep replenished throughout the season.

And I forgot to mention that I posted earlier on this thread about the earth pots. No one responded so I guess no one has tried them. My husband and I are going to this year for tomatoes. I’ll let you know how it goes.

I may have missed your post, kalee. When you say “earth pots,” are you talking about earth boxes? If so, I have used them for several years, and they are great!

Yes, the earth pots were interesting, did you or someone had the link for making your own, that was of interest to me, as I would never be able to afford the fancy name brand ones.

I have in the past used my old dishpans to grow greens in and i like to plant my sprouted regular onions, they not only give you 4 plants for the one planted, but I use some of the leaves in my food.

Also if my memory is right, you do not get onion seed until the second year, or at least on some varieties.

Are you going to make the pots?

The oriental greens do well in pots.
