*knock* *knock*
Is anyone still home?
I'm thinking about summertime, and gardening. I have a lousy garden for an honest-to-gosh veg patch, but I'm happy to container garden. I'm starting to think about what I'd like, and what I can realistically do, and I'm probably months behind the seasoned gardeners, who already have their seeds started and such.
We eat sweet peppers, and they're "container-able". Ditto some tomatoes - apparently there are species that even like hanging baskets. We eat a lot of raspberries but they don't seem to make the list of good candidates. Strawberries, however, will apparently respond to this treatment. Salad greens. Spinach? Does anyone know if spinach works? Herbs. Onions? Can you grow onions or shallots in a container?
I'm tempted to try a rubbish bin potato experiment. Anyone ever done this?
Thoughts and ideas welcome, if anyone's out there ....
