I have almost 40 tomato plants in my garden right now and also 6 in containers. The are loaded with tomatoes. They are on the cusp of ripening and then I'll be in the middle of a canning frenzy. Good point about the drainage Edie. We also have watermelon, canteloupe, summer squash, zucchini, green beans, eggplant, green peppers, hot peppers, basil, Kale, Spinach, cucumbers, broccoli, and lots of flowers. Everything is starting to produce. I always grow 10 large pots of green beans. I prefer to grow beans this way because it is easier to maintain the plants and pick the beans. It's a great feeling to grow your own food. I am happy to supplement my family's food with non gmo veggies that we grew ourselves. Nothing you can buy in a store will ever be as fresh.
