| My family have always been big gardeners. You name it, we've grown it. Now that I live in a condo, I use boxes on my window sills on the south side of my place for my herbs. Can't do veggies cause I can't pollinate, ya know?! Sounds like a fun project. You may have to water a bunch since the depth of the dirt in the box is not the same as being in the ground.... and watering in the the evening may help so the plants get the benefit of absorption overnight when its cooler. |

| Very nice! I have started potting a lot of things because the voles devour everything in the ground. |

| Wow Betty! Those tomato plants are huge! The lake does look soooo inviting. If I lived there...I would sit and watch the boats in the water for hours.

Donating YT 2000 Club Member | Ok Betty.. I have decided I am coming to see you! I tried a garden a few times and the deer ate it so I gave up. Those looks nice and something that might work for me.
