whyisa, you tried to grow veggies this past summer didn’t you? how’d that work out? if things get bad, guess i will try to grow food instead of flowers. While SG could easily grow veggies, given her master gardener status, would she EAT THEM if things got bad? ; )

I did some container gardening - used big flower pots to grow some banana peppers, bell peppers and jalapenos - and had those hanging thingies for tomatoes..... the only problem I had was ants. I had not done a good job on my back yard this year letting the grass grow higher than the front (all enclosed fencing so no one could see it) - I was lazy. And in the process I did not fertilize/treat for ants....so I had ants all in my veggies... but this year I will take are of the ant problem and do a few more veggies - but they were not hard to do at all. I will probably do some squash and maybe some green onions - and some herbs.
