I have 135 containers of food growing on my deck - and that includes corn on the cob. This is my first full year of knowing how to grow food after a year of failure and study, and help from JRandomFreeper and greeneyes and others on our FR gardening thread.

This year is growing numerous kinds of tomatoes and cucumbers and peppers and broccoli and peas and Brussels sprouts, and Tromboncino squash and strawberries and blackberries and Egyptian Walking Onions, and carrots and potatoes, lettuce, etc... Next year I’ll know the type of each that grows the best for my container garden and I’ll concentrate on those types.

I won’t have every veggie I eat, but what I have will help and no one touched them but me and there are no chemicals on those plants and they didn’t travel in a truck from California to get here. I grew most of it from seed - imagine a garden from seed, those little seeds grow into great plants.

You are invited to visit the gardening thread any time - we have a blast over there. greeneyes is the “master” of the thread and a new one is started every Friday afternoon. We post all week to the one going, then switch to the new one on Friday. No kidding, you can grow some food.

#104...I should have asked you!

Gardening thread sounds good too. I don’t think I knew of it before.

I would love to be added to the ping list, if there is one.
