I’m trying some tomatoes in containers this year.
I have 4 Beefmaster tomatoes planted in large containers, each container about 10 gallon size. I thought a 5 gallon container might be a tad small.
I put three sweet banana and eight sweet bell peppers in an old flower bed beside my steps.
Yes I love the sweet peppers. I put them on or in just about everything I eat.
I put the tomatoes in a spot that is sheltered from the evening sun. The plants will get plenty of sun but will be in shade when the late afternoon bake hits.
Using the needles from the pine tree out back as a mulch on the tomatoes and peppers.
I’ll check the soil next year before planting for acid levels.
Gardening for one is something I’ve never done before. I hope it pans out.
It’s got to be easier than gardening for two or more. LOL
I experiment with untried varieties in my little raised beds. Those that we like graduate to Hubby’s large beds. We have almost no back yard left-just one small patch of lawn that I can see looking out the basement patio doors and through the green house.
Now that he has run out of room in the backyard, he’s starting to use the mid rear portion of the extra lot we bought.
