Ok, so I'm working out a list of supplies I'll need to get when I get home and those that my boyfriend can get from his grandfather (who's grown his own produce forever). It's still pretty hot in Oklahoma, but by late September it should be comfortably warm going into the cooler climate by October. I did a search and I live in zone 6B. Anyone have any suggestions on plants that work really well here? I want to grow lettuce, strawberries and blueberries, squash, tomatoes, and potatoes (could I do sweet potatoes?) and some herbs that I use a lot in cooking like rosemary, oregano, and thyme for starters.
I have to make all this in containers because my landlord says so. And in a backyard that is not fenced in, so I hope the apartments behind us doesn't try lift all my produce.
If you have any fertilizer/soil recommendations I'll gladly try them out, too.
Thanks everyone!
