Thanks Red! Our backyard has a drainfield (no grow zone), trees/shade, red Georgia clay, and in-ground irrigation so by time I eliminate all those areas, there’s nothing left!
The tomatoes are on the sidelines, some peppers are near the bird bath, and the cukes are out of bounds.
I may invest in more conatiners next year because the deck is in full sun. And these plants do look good.
It just gets real hot on the deck.
“Four-hunnerd-hell” hot as we say here.
but I also am using buckets this year....we live on 5 acres so its not a lack of space, its just that the deer are ferocious and you need a high fence to begin with...then there's the sandy soil....
in the buckets I've got a few peppers, a couple of squash and some cukes...
my garden despite the late start and the rainy cool conditions looks pretty darn good...in a few weeks, I'll submit some pics....
but I've got tomatoes, onions, brussel sprouts,beans,beets,kohlrabi( if they'll start growing),garlic,lettuce,basil,cilantro,ornemental corn,zucchini...
I'm using these plastic squares with the bottoms cut out to ring my plants, sort of make a seal in the ground....then putting some newspaper with peat moss on top....this makes a dam for the plant but also inhibits week growth...that's what I think is going to happen anyway....lol
