I now live in the Dallas area where our summer sun burns up everything. I tried to plant tomatoes in those upside down tomato planters a few years ago. I spent about $36 on all the supplies and got two very expensive tomatoes from them! It looks like your frugal approach is much wiser! :)Glendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00633731859029549757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-146108932998813686.post-123612000788420142013-05-28T07:16:43.748-05:002013-05-28T07:16:43.748-05:00I am sure that your pots will do well.

We have had a garden for so long that it is second nature. I do think that raised beds and container gardening is best for some areas.

You have a great assortment, I hope they come up for you. And that is a good idea, putting them in one spot made just for them.

I should have inherited a better green thumb. <br />Thankfully we are not dependent on my little backyard project to keep us fed.

To...Oh..Rhonda..I think we must be kindred spirits. To have had the grandparents I've had and the mother I have I should be able to grow anything. I live on a patch of land that I'm sure is really a rock; my gardening too has been hit and miss. Last year I planted mostly in my flower bed. I had a little better luck. I find myself trying to think outside the box and a sometimes I just say,"Let's try this." I'm loving your site and definitely must follow you.Lynn Blaylockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05203013063405463263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-146108932998813686.post-9479057272530928842013-05-25T13:48:39.405-05:002013-05-25T13:48:39.405-05:00You know Rhonda, I think that is great you are pla...You know Rhonda, I think that is great you are planting in pots.
