Wow, all I’ve done is grab a beefsteak plant from the grocery story, plus a few attractive annual flowers in larger pots. :’)

Hee hee! I just sneaked a dozen Romas from the store today, when I got a tank of water. We have to haul it, so I have a 450 gallon poly tank in the back of the pickup.

Tomatoes did so poor last year that the wife didn’t want me to plant any this time.

As for larger pots, this place has some old, deep bath tubs here & there. They used them in the old days to water the orchard trees. I’m moving the four I know about to the fenced area, and filling them with a custom mix. I’ll use three to grow to grow root veggies: carrots, beets, & rutabagas.

The fourth one will get kitchen scraps, shredded paper, cow manure, and mail order worms.
