So the only place I can possibly grow anything that needs sun is on the side of the house (south) by the driveway. I plan to put the veg trug there by the fence and see how that goes. And it is raised high, so hopefully won't be hard on my back. <br />And I'm sure that Saku loves his box delivered!Rianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09472421271620543536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076673433792968099.post-49813593435810836622022-04-30T11:22:54.353-07:002022-04-30T11:22:54.353-07:00Question: You mentioned water bottles... empty pl...Question: You mentioned water bottles... empty plastic ones I gather?... but why remove the labels? I get that it would require less topsoil and I imagine give some room for aeration and drainage. I too want to grow only what we use... bell peppers, lettuce, spinach, mustard greens, possibly kale, and tomatoes. Can you mix herbs in with your veggies. I love parsley and basil.

Maybe they had a lot of deliveries in my area? And I have grown tomatoes before, but the birds tend to get to them before we do. I don't mind sharing our figs with the birds as there are plenty, but the tomatoes - not so much.Rianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09472421271620543536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076673433792968099.post-18344551555285139952022-04-30T09:38:54.070-07:002022-04-30T09:38:54.070-07:00I guess it takes little to make my day too, I enjo...I guess it takes little to make my day too, I enjoyed seeing your new frying pan, salad spinner & milk bottles! (Did you get those bottles from Amazon? Boy you got 'em fast!) I also wanted to add that you should grow some tomatoes--homegrown tomatoes beat store bought everytime. PS. Rian I wanted to add that your concern about the pages tabs not being dark enough--I wouldn't try to change those as the tab for the page you're on (outside of the Home page) DOES turn bold. Hope u have a nice weekend too. :^)ApacheDughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05520433539816634566noreply@blogger.com
