Oh wow! you are really coming along! I know what you mean about pots! I need more of them too! ....either that or else get Darlin to help me build some raised beds... Well, I can dream, can’t I? It could happen!

I did obtain three large sacks of potting soil at the end of last season when they were on sale. Not sure if it will be enough.

I was tickled to find in a junk yard an old rusty metal strainer which fits into a bucket that fishermen use/ed for putting their catches into a bucket, then by lifting it out, the water drains off, and they are able to handle the fish easily. The size of the mesh is just right to act as a soil sieve for me to aerate the soil and get the rocks in the bottom of the pots out of the dirt before I amend the soil and place it back into the pots with the rocks again at the bottom.

It will be good seeing JRandomFreeper!
