I need to throw in some tweaks and experiment some more with the fertilizing and watering but that's the fun of gardening.sanddunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10091633099445758748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4090202102879168785.post-86092956717528979742010-01-23T21:20:50.200-05:002010-01-23T21:20:50.200-05:00I am considering putting tomatoes and peppers in c...I am considering putting tomatoes and peppers in containers also, for the last couple of years my plants have not produced much in the ground.

The buckets don't look that great but I did enjoy the fresh Tomatoes. I have grown Marigolds just because I like the smell [ lots of folks don't ] but I will try some around the base of some of the vegetable plants. Thanks. The planter is about to get an epoxy makeover when I get around to it.<br />I saved all the pieces to put it back together. It's on my list of things I really ought to do one day.sanddunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10091633099445758748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4090202102879168785.post-19778061345298037232010-01-19T18:02:38.574-05:002010-01-19T18:02:38.574-05:00It looks as though you survived the big freeze qui...It looks as though you survived the big freeze quite well. We also cant grow regular tomatoes in the ground here because of wilt in the soil. I did grow a black russian last winter though, I think if you ammend the soil with enough compost...... I also heard that marigolds deter nematodes. At the moment my vegetable garden is full of marigolds, cosmos and pigeon peas as a green manure crop. Have you joined KGI yet? they have a wealth of information on tomatoes. Very active site, if you havent it is worth looking at. That was a beautiful planter.<br />Gillianafricanaussiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660727599623626163noreply@blogger.com
