Those are some happy plants! Are you using a different mix for the veggies and strawberries in the other earthtainers or are you using the same mix for all of them? I love how the earthtainer makes watering idiot proof, it's almost like you can't do wrong.

Ah, omg, Deborah, I love that! I keep thinking...wow, if I waited for enough strawberries to make a shortcake with, I'd be waiting forever.

Vespertino, I honestly have been using a variety of potting soils amended with agricultural lime and Jobe's Organic All-Purpose Plant Food. Since I potted up multiple things on different days, I just bought whatever was cheapest at various big-box stores... so, the boxes are mainly filled whatever's the cheapest potting soil at Lowe's, honestly (surprisingly, they tend to be labelled organic)....
