I’m thinking about putting some of the more unusual pepper and tomato varieties in containers next year. Makes it easy to treat issues and they’re not being splashed by dirt and microbes every time it rains. And, it’s easier to keep them away from bunnies and bambis.
And pull them in the garage if we have unusually cool temps.
No surgeries yet. I’ve been told surgery on my foot is inevitable though. Bah. I dread that day.
My wife will continue to garden the ground, she can still reach it. It has drip irrigation on timers, and landscape fabric, so all she does is plant and pick. But I am looking to grow peppers and maters in containers next year, up where I can get to them. I will use a drip system also because I don't like to water with a hose, too much wasted water. I may try to prune them to keep them short and contained, but don't know if the will work or not, all I have to lose is a few seeds and I usually start way too many.
