    Dont read, I have been convinced of something I never heard of before I got to fla. Pot Gardening, I have friends who are in a group who pot garden, they grow vegetables and some fruits in pots, they get HIGH YIELDS hardly no loss and the vegetables come out fantastic.

    The one guy who is considered an expert has over 400 pots on his property, he gives a ton of fresh produce to two food banks.

    Pot farming works dontread, its easier to control and keep healthy and the yields are high.
    You really need to find another name for that. I grow some vegitables in big tubs but I do not refer to it as "pot farming" LOL

    I planted habaneros, jalapenos and serranos for heat and 3 bell pepper plants. I'm all about the peppas so far. I only bought one herb seedling this year. I was surprised that my oregano, thyme and parsley grew back. Hardy plants. I'm covered in the herb department.

    Because of where I live I am still planting. Turned over the garden by hand the past few days. No frost in the long term forecast so it was time to start planting

    Looks like a banner year for squash much of which has already been eaten.. I've lost a lot of my brassicas to the devil groundhog . But other than that pretty good. Tomatoes starting to ripen .
    How are your gardens going?
