Several days ago I got three large pots and moved different size banana suckers into them, so I could move them into a spare room once it cooled off, and hopefully get bananas during other times of the year.

While I was picking up the pots, I found these pots that are designed to fit on a fence rail. So I picked up a couple and some plumbing and expanded the hydroponic system to a nice sunny spot on the edge of the dock. I went ahead and planted tomatoes, knowing it's not the right time, but I figured if we got any cold this year (here along the north edge of Tampa Bay there are many winters I don't see freezing) I could just take them inside for a night or two.

The next day I see that the weather is coming. Into the house went the existing tomatoes. Lessons learned:

  1. They are a lot bigger than they looked.
  2. They are a lot heavier than they looked.
  3. Before you pick it up, figure out where, and how, you are going to put it down.
  4. Before you pick it up, make sure you have a clear path to where you need to put it down.
  5. If, even though you found the perfect place to put it down, tomato plants fall in your living room and no one is awake to hear it, they do still make a mess.
