Janie, that was totally cogent. Good leads for further research (online).

The BEST tomatoes I ever had were in smallish containers outside a basement apartment window. I watered them with gallon jugs from the nearby kitchen sink. The results were small and thick-skinned, but SO SWEET because the flavor of the variety just concentrated itself into the tad-dry pots.

A BIL has done them for years in pots. Good results-- I've et a few myself.

Watering these locations is not going to be an issue, and I do need the short daily walk to get out thee and DO IT. The doggies will enjoy playing with the squirting hose I bet. And get cleaner feet! :~)


Keep 'em coming, folks.

Bobert-- no worries. Lotsa folks here do container gardening. (I don't happen to know them, but I see the pots all around town.) A neighbor has ground-gardened for years and will advise on set-out dates for our climate. He's almost disabled now too, so there's another person who may enjoy coming over to putter with me.

This looks like another hobby that will probably turn into a ministry. I do have an old wheelchair that can be used for people who need to sit while puttering.
