I don't know how much you want to plant. There is an alternative to working in a garden. you can plant some of your stuff in double 5 gallon buckets. Tomatoes do great,sometimes better than planting them in the ground. I have grown broccoli and Romaine lettuce in double buckets.
I assume you have read what I have written on this thread so you know I've made every effort in my life not to grow stuff - my thumb was black, not green.
One time I tried to grow something, I remember, it was a plant I brought from Hawaii, and my husband, who could grow anything, said I needed to “talk” to the plant. So, I went over to the plant and said, “Either you grow or I'm jerking you out of this dirt!” My husband said that was not the right thing to say to the plant.
Now, since that beloved husband is gone, either I figure out how to grow or I grow NO food and I surely do like tomatoes and onions and lettuce. AND TOBACCO.
Now, that you realize I don't know jack about growing, what do you mean when you say “DOUBLE BUCKETS?” Just one inside the other? Please explain. Thanks.
