Seems like I just did this 2 weeks ago but once again I trimmed back my indeterminate tomatoes (2 Black Sea Man, Big Boy & Jet Star) their growing so fast they all have green tomatoes and plenty of new blossoms. They were also getting to close, no air flow so I rearranged to give them more room I moved 2 pepper plants to one of my growing tables. My cuke is climbing nicely and blooming,his is the 1st time I've tried beets in a grow bag they seem to be doing just great. My pole beans are really climbing and my bush beans (Contender) are starting to develop beans here's a few pics.

Nice! The ability to rearrange is one of the beauties of container growing.

When I was a growing up we had a 2ac. garden but living in the city either I use the grow bags or I go without fresh veggies. I really like being able to still grow my own, and with my set up its very neat & compact.

Maybe it's just me --- but that murky standing water would drive me insane....
Could that potentially affect the ~taste~ of the final product |

The algae been an issue in previous years and with the heat we've had this year there's not much that can be done to stop or prevent it, I haven't noticed any taste issues.

Jetstar -
I know it's the internet and all, so hopefully you did not read it the wrong way.... Any possibility to set them on drip ? The systems are pretty inexpensive these days. |

Mobiledynamics, no worries about your concerns everyone does things differently. As far as a drip system I really like being in and around the patio where my grow bags are, I guess I could set up a drip system but the worry if something breaks I like my daily watering regiment I'm able to spot any issues and correct them, and if need be I'm able to remove and isolate the plant
