This is an awesome thread y'all! I keep a notebook for gardening notes and I filled 2 pages from this thread today! Oakland~ your container setups rock! I don't have tons of sun so therefore pretty much container garden everything. I have never grown corn because of the room it takes. Now, I...

A neighbor gave me 2 of those pools and that is what I'm using too! Although not the array you have in yours. One has bush beans and the other has lima beans. Everything else I'm growing went in other containers. My original thought was to cut the whole bottom out of one and flip it on top of...

Howdy Y'all! I'm in Arlington- smack dab in the middle of Dallas and Fort Worth. I don't have many sunny spots to plant things in the ground, but I have quite a collection of things in pots. :)

The past couple of weeks I have been planting and repotting like crazy. I am pretty much just a container gardener because I don't have very many good in the ground spots for stuff. Here's my list so far: 4 varities of tomato- I tossed the tags and lost the sheet I wrote the varieties on so...

I have some lemon balm planted and it seems to come up in clumps rather than a viney type spread so it is easier to control IMO than most mints. When I got it I was told the same thing that it would repel mosquitos- nope.
