I planted some of my deck planters this morning. Just in case we need some extra oxygen in the bunker. Considering the fact that I have a "black thumb", if we actually get anything BUT oxygen (such as vegetables) it will be nothing short of a miracle. I planted one tomato plant, one green pepper, two peas, chives, parsley, and several flowers(that way it won't be SO depressing if the veggies don't grow). I also planted seeds for radishes and spinach.
I don't think we'll be harvesting any vegetables during May - a few herbs maybe - it will be unlikely that we'll get anything else. I will try and take very good care of my little deck garden. Whenever I am wishing for fresh produce, I'll go out and water.......I hope they don't drown.
Looks great! Round works too! You'll be amazed at how fast the tomotoes outgrow their assigned space...what I'm saying is you'll probably need some sturdy staking with some 'tie-ups' to hold it all together. We have this ENORMOUS tomato we can bearly contain & still NO TOMATOES! I want to dump it...dad says not yet! But it's taking up A LOT of space. Good luck & I'm sure you know you will need to fertilize more often when you container garden.
ReplyDeleteEagerly looking forward to your day-by-day journey into 'the bunker'-- brave souls!
No tomatoes? What's up with that? That sounds more like me than like you.
ReplyDeleteI like to have my tomatoes in containers - I have less problems with blight. I plan on planting one more tomato plant - but I want to look around and see if I can find pear tomatoes.
