ok, I've got to get these tomatoes planted out, and I don't have enough containers. Remember my making those boxes I was going to put my EBs and HEBs and GPs on? Well, I think I have the solution. The boxes are 31" long on the two sides and 10" long on the other two sides and they are about 6" deep. So; what if I stack them two together, one on top of the other and just fill them with potting mix? Then stick a tomato in each one? Do you think that will work? I could water it like Bob's 5 gallon bags?
Also, I used the GPs last spring, and noticed they had 10 okra's per GP and EB states 4? So; since I'm using HEBs and had planted 10 last year per GP I planted 8 in each HEB, I had lots of okra last year, it was successful with 10, so don't expect any difference with 8, I will have 3 HEBs of okra this year. I have 2 of candy apple onions, my artichoke bit the dust already, one might survive out of the 4 planted. My tomatoes? They are thriving like crazy. So; gotta make room for them. My carrots are starting to show green fuzz and my 2 EBs of cabbages are doing too. Today I finish planting melons and okra. Then all I gotta worry about is my maters and corn. I will address peppers when I get my order in from Shumways and my eggplant in from Burpees.
By the way Bob, those blocks of coir that you sent me that had the white bag and handle on them? I am going to punch holes in the bottoms of some of the bags and stuff them and use them this year to plant things in also. Ran short of containers, PTL for a hole puncher I own right? LOL
joy
A new experiment again ya'll
