I plant a ‘Tumbler Tom’ in a hanging basket under the garage eve. I pop a few when coming and going to & from work.

It reminds me that Life Is Good. :) (I read that somewhere this morning. *WINK* )

Nice looking soil in your garden, Diana. Is that some good silt loam texture?

Ok, I might try putting them in the corners of my second raised bed then. If it works, yay, if not I’ll pull them out and put something else.

I’ve put asparagus beans in the cubbies on the inside of the beds, where they join and got my husband to put up the trellises I got in the yard/garden department last fall (on sale! $29 trellis for $7!).

Hmmm, now I’m wondering if my bambino eggplants would be happy in a cubby too. I’m trying to see just how much and how varied of produce I can get from maximizing my raised bed production. I’m trying to talk my parents into building a couple to save them the work. My dad (75yrs) still gardens the old fashioned way. Tiller, rows, pulling weeds or hoeing. Hopefully I can convince him to save himself some work!
