I’ve tried planting garlic & onion starts and darn if the starts just sat there and so did the garlic, the garlic did put out pretty greet stems so did the onions, but NO BULB! So this year I’m planting some onion bottoms in a syrup pot. I might have better luck with them. I’ll try just about any thing. My tomatoes are doing very well, as I take off the ripe ones some are turning kinda orangy. The first year I’ve had tomatoes from my pots.

As I've said, I have two large containers that will hold two large tomato plants or other food that needs a trellis. But, I ordered a container for one tomato or plant that needs a vine and it came today. That is one fine barrel for the tomato or other vine needing plant. It's a Hydrofarm barrel so it's watered from the bottom. I put it together here in the house and the trellis is plastic circles you snap together as you need more trellis and it's 5 feet tall with the trellis fully put together.

I like this barrel and trellis - I can see bean plants having a blast growing up, plus blackberries, and squash.

Having these containers that are easily moved, will allow me to move the plants into shade for a period of time to keep the boiling sun off them when it's the hottest.

When did you start them? I put mine out in late Oct or early Nov. They are like any other bulb plant and grow well in cold weather.
