so i decided this year to test my skills at gardening with a little container garden. my mother has a large plot in her community garden and, i'll go ahead and admit it, i'm a bit jealous of her fresh veggies! i got these planted a little later than planned, early/mid may. the tomato i tried to start from seeds did NOT fare well but on a recent visit, my mom blessed me with a little tomato plant that is doing well so far.
so from top left to bottom right: peppers, carrots, tomato, onions, potato, lettuce, cucumber, spinach. all planted in plastic planters with miracle gro moisture control soil and osmocote fertilizer at planting. the peppers, carrots, lettuce, cucumber and spinach were from seeds; the onions and potato were from sets and the tomato, as mentioned was purchased.
the potato plant has been growing marvelously, but then it started to get a bit yellow - not sure if it is sick and diseased or just malnourished since i neglected to fertilize them again since the initial planting. OOPS! gave them all a bit of miracle gro tomato/vegetable plant fertilizer. we'll see how that turns out in a few days.
