Sherri, if you get a brug start this winter, I'd keep it in a pot until spring then plant it out. A small plant will be a lot more vulnerable to cold than a big, established one. So while it's getting going, I'd be kind to it and schlep it inside on the cold nights. It will be ready to take off once the weather warms up.

Yeah, the jug idea came from my dad who drank cheap red wine that came in green glass gallon jugs. His garden looked like a winery, but his tomato plants kept going a long time after everyone else's had given up.

Drew, the HOA thing comes from the complaints of so many friends who garden, but live in deed restricted communities. Creative people like gardeners need so much more, ah, shall we say 'latitude' than most HOA's allow.
