The lettuce I planted in November did wonderfully. We had some very warm days and some of it bolted so I pulled the rest of it up and planted green beans which are coming up sporadically. I used to have more green beans than we could possibly eat but the last few years I can't get them to grow. We shall see what happens this year.

In their own separate pots, I have my cherry tomatoes planted with basil, 2 celebrity tomato plants, each planted with basil, a large tree pot with the beginnings of potatoes planted. All I have to do yet is find a pot for my Cherokee Purple tomato plant & then I am done planting veggies for the season.

if it had not of been raining so badly, I would have also planted green onions, lettuce and spinach. but oh well...perhaps next year.

Good for you Junie. Where are your containers located? I've got to get my potatoes in buckets before they outgrow these containers. It was too overcast today and I just couldn't make myself do it and I'll be gone all day tomorrow so Monday is the day. Pray for sunshine.

I will pray for Sunshine for us both, Sheri.

In my back yard we have pavers setting out to the right of the back garage door. There used to be 2 dog pens on the pavers. However, we have long ago gotten rid of the pens,but we kept the pavers in place. So my large pots--half barrel--lg. tree pot are there now...so Rod will not have to trim around them, and I will not have to got out in the grass to care for them..it is a win-win. I do however have one lg. pot filled with a cherry tomato plant & basil plant on the back deck. That is more handy for me to get tomatoes from for say salads down the road..

I put the potato plants in buckets today and I'm wondering what will happen if it rains hard. Will the buckets drain fast enough or will it overflow and kill the plant or what? I've got drain holes in the bottom.

It will drain out the extra water usually.

Yes I think it should w/o any problem. I have used large flower pots for years to grow veggies, esp. Tomatoes---and as long as they have had drain holes, I do not have problems in that area. Also, I have MY potatoes in a large tree pot that has drain holes about every 6 inches. I am thinking of it was good enough for the tree, it should be good enough for my potatoes.

I wish us both good luck !
