Damn, you’re good. :-)
Now if you can clue me in how to grow single citrus trees (one orange, one lemon) in containers . . . Heh. Me and my black thumbs. My Sis can grow anything, any time. But me? “Patheticus Maximus”.
I grow everything in containers, one plant per 5 gallon container, though I’m no Farmer Linda for certain (more on that below). Best thing about container gardening is no bugs, though they do require extra watering that ground gardening may not. I’ve had incredible success with tomatoes, herbs, peppers, onions and radishes. This summer, I’m removing 2 deck chairs to make room for 8 asparagus plants. They only ship the plants in sets of 8 at planting time, so it’s more than I need but I may kill a couple, so spares are welcome. I’m also adding one corn plant and some green beans.
The very first time I planted sweet peppers, I went to the local greenhouse and chose two plants that had red pepper tags and two that had green pepper tags. When I got home, I noticed that I’d inadvertently brought home 3 green peppers and one red pepper plant. I drove almost 50 miles round trip back to the greenhouse to exchange a green pepper plant for a second red pepper plant. Shockingly, nobody said anything to me at the time but dutifully allowed me to make my exchange. In July, when the vegetables appeared on the plants, I was quite annoyed to see that I had 4 green pepper plants. Someone eventually straightened me out. When I say I’m no Farmer Linda, I truly mean that, but I’m learning as I go and am inordinately proud of being able to eat food I’ve grown myself. City girls 🙄
