Default Any gardeners in the house?


I usually do houseplants and flowers but I'm trying tomatoes too this summer. Big Boys and Sweet 100's. They haven't grown much since I planted them but they seem to be taking off now...

I love home grown tomatos, however, the only stuff I can grow is in forgotten containers in the fridge

I want to try cucumber too. I dunno if it's too late in the season though.

The ground here is shit - all red clay, so I mostly just plant in pots. Lots of pots. As of now, I have snapdragons, petunias, ivy and verbena. The tomatoes are in the ground though. I ruffed up a bed for those.

I have mine in a pot, not in the ground

I planted radishes once, they were horrid. I never got any at all, just leaves. Not a single radish. Same think with carrots. I don't know what I did wrong

Well the bed I dug up for the tomatoes - I dug up the clay and mixed good soil with it (tip - anything by the brand 'Miracle-Gro' works awesome.) If it isn't too late in the season I have another bed that I can try the cucumbers in where I did the same thing.

Landscaping, yes. Gardening no.

Good time to grow your own tomatoes though.
