Gardening in Containers is more than you think! See Watermelon, Cantaloupe , Musk Mellons, Potatoes, Pumpkins Beans, Carrots, Squash, Cucumbers. Peas and of course Tomatoes and Lettuce. Want more see my blog http://thoughtsfromwisdom.blogspot.com/
Thanks! I would say do not be afraid of pots. They are easy and using the "soil mix" that has fertilizer in it gives them a great start. Then I water and fertilize periodically. It is just plain fun! Go for it!
Good Question – Miracle Grow is the fertilizer. The season was excellent that year (2009) as well. This year (2010) in my region – Western Washington – the season was not good and tomatoes did not do as well. Hope this answers your question! Judy
@alz123alz I do believe it is year to year on tomatoes. As you could see they were over the top that year. I use Miracle Grow. Container gardening requires extra help. 2010 I did not grow a garden. We travel in July. My sister-in-law did her tomarotes and they were a bust. The year was not good. 2011 I am hopeful. Enjoy gardening! Judy
@MDBNGUYEN Really it was just a good year for a garden. 2010 I did not plant. We traveled in July. This year I plan to have a good container garden again. I use Miracle Grow. Container gardening requires extra boosts. Enjoy gardening! Judy

How big are the pots you're using?
I purchased them from Costco. They are about 2' across and 2' high for the smaller pots. I like that I do not have to bend way over to garden.
You had so much fun with this garden. I hope continue this season too. Look at those tall tomatoes. Great work with the film!
