As far as tomatoes go ...Sparks, they do know best. <br />As far as tomatoes go I have always grown them in pots and they thrive. In the summer (and a short growing season here) a couple of plants produce too many to use and we all try to give them away to friends or neighbors! Its fun to try a variety as some do better then others in different conditions. Have fun with your gardening.

Next project!!<br /><br />Also rather than do what Norm said I found sites that show you how to make a dog poop septic. Just a garbage can or plastic bucket with (holes/no bottom) in the ground with a top. Add water and septic additive. Better than throwing in empty lot next door.sparks_mexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00164875979449223368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9465120.post-44358110498748054082012-03-02T15:04:37.793-06:002012-03-02T15:04:37.793-06:00I found you can start anything in a container unti...I found you can start anything in a container until you find the right place or soil in the garden, sometimes they're better off when young or small, helps them not get trampled or eaten by animals. I grow all my cooking herbs in pots, basil, oregano, thyme rosemary, sage... and mint grows wild, can take over a garden if not contained.Andeannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9465120.post-45122577279135804992012-03-02T08:47:31.526-06:002012-03-02T08:47:31.526-06:00Steve - No veggies yet ... only some sweet corn th...Steve - No veggies yet ... only some sweet corn that didn't do too well.<br /><br />Norm - And I have a dog but waiting 3 months for the poop to break down is too long.

Works on leaves as well but the end product will need a few handfuls of lime to knock back the PH at the end of the process before you add it to your soil. Straight from Mother Earth about 30 years ago. The easiest, composting system I have used.normhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04651902762232427335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9465120.post-39706515911160205742012-03-02T08:31:39.275-06:002012-03-02T08:31:39.275-06:00I still want to try my hand at heirloom tomatoes. ...I still want to try my hand at heirloom tomatoes.
