Beyond tomatoes

MargeH · February 17, 2008

I have no sunny space in my yard for an inground garden so my only option has been pots. Tomatoes have been my obsession for two years, but I am ready to try some other things. I have grown peppers in pots with success, so this year I am adding cucumbers, squash, eggplant, lettuce and bush beans.

I was in the bookstore over the weekend and came across the book "McGee & Stuckey's Bountiful Container: Create Container Gardens of Vegetables, Herbs, Fruits and Edible Flowers." I spent a couple of hours today reading through it. It has given me some confidence that I can grow something besides tomatoes successfully. I will just have to cut back on my tomato habit to make room for other things..... Maybe next year.
