I miss my property fiercely (someday …), but I was able to plant three tomato plants (Bonnie’s choice and a beefsteak type), celery, bell peppers and russet potatoes in containers.
:frow It has indeed been hard to get things pollinated. I only put in Romas this year. I got only twelve tomatoes. :oops: That had more to do with not noticing nine plants in one area when I thought it was two. It takes talent to miss that. So, all the energy went to growing the vines instead of...
