Containers Growing ?

AlittleSalt · June 11, 2019

I promised to show some trees around here. Those are all in what I call our yard (Post #522) The first picture shows the wildfire damage from 1979 and how the trees have recovered over the past 40 years.

I had just cut and pulled out briars and some poison ivy that was at least 15 foot tall. You can see in the picture where some of the poison Ivy was cut off at the last minute before I took the picture. They are the green vegetation you see near the trees in the picture.

To make a long story short - My stepmother passed in 2010, and mine and my half brother's Father passed in 2011. My half brother (Brother) wanted to let the property grow wild except around our houses, and I begrudgingly agreed to his request back in 2011.

In a way, I'm tired of seeing nature take over, and I'm slowly cleaning up some of the area. (Reclaiming the Jungle) is what I call it. I don't spray pesticides except on my tomato plants. and I do that when I have to. There are 11+ acres here. I like for some of it to be mowed and park-like, with an in-between area with just a little upkeep, and all the rest to be natural. To me, that is part of container gardening, or gardening in general. It all depends on what you are happy with. I know it seems off-topic, but it really isn't.

I did take care of the containers garden first with their feeding and I had to tie a stem closer to the cage (I should show pictures of that tomorrow). I really never imagined seeing a container garden growing tomato plants as huge as they are growing. I did see the huge tomato plants that AK Mark showed in his thread, but I had no idea about growing them outside in containers.
