Container Gardening Gone Wild


 It started with a 3' raised metal planter to put two tomato plants, a second planter for pepper plants.  

Then he wanted two more planters for zucchini, squash and cucumbers.  

And then he wanted one more for lettuce and beans.  

This was what he brought in on Thursday night to join what was in my frig.  


Tonight I made nine 1/2 pints of freezer pickles. Tomorrow I start freezing tomatoes. He tells me zucchini is ready.  

Am I ready for this?

  4. Makes me think of that old poem - "Merry, Merry, how does your garden grow?"
    Yours is growing very well! The tomatoes are gorgeous. Ours are not nearly that far along.

  5. I have never heard of freezer pickles, but they are certainly something that I mean to try. Envious of your garden bounty! I've got blossoms on my tomatoes. I've got buds on my peppers. I have nothing at all to pick!

  6. Yummy harvest! I do miss my garden and putting up tomatoes and zuchinni to get us through the winter. But no, you're never ready for the influx of veggies to be prepared. Especially with your busy life. I don't know when you'll fit it in.
    Blessings,

  7. You will be very happy you did do this when it's winter. Our growing season starts later so I have nothing yet.

  8. As usual, Miss Merry, you are amazing. Our container garden is limited to just bell peppers this year... but they are doing pretty well. But my inside plants are really thriving, making new growth everywhere. My front room may yet get to look like a conservatory...

  9. I never knew you could do tomatoes in the freezer, but I think it will be something that I try this year. I'm learning quite a bit from you lately, lady!
