Lisa, I am like you. I am even on orchard land and am putting in more fruit and walnut trees.

But I have wanted the vegetables also but unable to do the work involved due to being disabled.

So, it suddenly dawned on me that I could grow all the veggies on my deck as I started tomatoes, peppers, basil and herbs this year and they are doing great!

I thank the person who provided all this information!

I am trying container gardening for my vegetables for the first time and so far so good. I have lettuce, swiss chard and red, green and yellow bell peppers. I haven’t had much luch with the peppers the last two years (they were in the ground) so I really want to get it right this time since I love peppers! I heard they require a lot of fertilizer – would I use a different strength or frequency for these? Also, I heard coffee grinds are good but I’m not sure if that applies to vegetable gardening – anyone know? Thanks

I have NOT had much success through this winter using miracle grow mixed in top soil in pots and window box style containers inside the house with a grow light. The soil should be spectacular, but I am trying to grow Habaneros and while they look nice and shiny green and healthy, they ain’t grown much AT ALL! A friend with more experience told me Habaneros are REALLY picky and said, “You get these out in the first weeks of spring and they will really take off!” OK … but why didn’t they grow inside all winter? He suggested that I would have had to keep the apt at about 90 degrees. Any ideas? itskentagain@aol.com

I have a lot of land, but it is just too much work to have a regular garden. I am in my third year of container gardening, and have enjoyed it so much, I don’t think I’ll ever go back to the old fashioned way. Last year, I harvested so many cucumbers, I shared them with friends and family so they wouldn’t be wasted. My tomatoes didn’t do as well, but I still had plenty. What I had the best luck with is spring onions and oregano. I have divided those several times and given plants away as gifts. It is so easy, just water daily!

Is there a diary that shows when is the best time to plant vegetables in tubs? I never know what vegetables should be planted out each month!

why do my leaves on the tomato plant curl? does it need more water or am I giving it too much. the leaves look good in the being but as they get bigger they tend to curl and do not look healthy.

I planted cucumbers in containers for the first time this year. I have four plants, and none of them are doing well. They look wilted and three of the four stopped growing after a couple of weeks. I’ve been watering daily with diluted fertilizer, as recommended. I’m not sure what the problem could be. Any suggestions?
