Very nice!

Thank you! Where I am we should get that still, so I think it will be good to experiment at least!

Hmm, alright then. How best would you say to go about practicing?

I am debating if I wanted to try a second time around with the onions, but maybe try more Egyptian Walking Onions instead of traditional white onions; however, I also have debated if I wanted to just switch to the next in the set for crop rotations. I have decided that next year I am going to attempt crop rotations with my four major sub-sections, being two sets of pots, and two raised beds.

I do not have pictures right now, but my plants are doing better. A few more of my peppers in my larger pots are beginning to fruit with more flowers, and a few tomatoes are beginning as well. I feared that my watermelons were dying, but they are back to life and flourishing right now. With my beds themselves, two of my three tomatoes in the beds are doing alright with one doing better than the other, while the middle tomato plant is dead as dirt for some reason. Similarly my onion bed did not survive the storming we had a week or two ago. Sadly I am going to need to figure out the plan there. My indoor tomatoes and indoor onions though are doing very well!

I wish it would be possible, but the amount of work to convert would make it more difficult than not. Honestly, I would love to see more community centers made from the abandoned malls at least as a starting point, and then go from there.

Of course! If you have any questions feel free to post around here too! There are a few different places to get seeds or plants from that are container friendly, which can help for something easy to work with.

Yep! they are also good because they are a deep root watering too! I used the ollas last years for my dynamite peppers and banana peppers, and they were wonderful honestly.

Honestly, one thing to look at would be using ollas, or terracotta pots that irrigate the plants for you. It is an easy way to once to twice a week water your plants. I use it almost exclusively in my gardens because my work schedule is too hectic sometimes for daily watering, plus it is much more effective in deep-root watering.

Getting the last set of pots this weekend, got large terracotta ones that I am going to be having ollas in with some container style tomatoes and peppers. Maximizing space without necessarily building more raised beds as I don’t have the stuff for that, right now. Waiting on one of the local stores to get plants started for selling so that I can transplant them into my garden beds. Going to try okra this year! Determined to see how it works!

Very nice with the ground cherries!

That is so amazing!!

I got my tomato seeds for my various types I am going to be growing, and then also am going to attempt growing okra! I also got my classic herbs, some peppers, some onions, and garlics too.

Starting indoors then will transfer as necessary.

2 hours for the city to city yeah. It is closer to 3 and a half hours for those of us who are in the more rural communities.

As someone who lives in Colorado, I see no issues with them actually creating more options for transit.

I would personally enjoy seeing some more improvement being made for transport by train in my state, that being said though, I would be happier if BNSF would be able to incorporate transport of people too someday instead of just carting coal everywhere.

This was the first year I’ve had my house, so I had built two raised beds and had the existing one for the first time this year. I had also built the larger ollas for irrigating an learned how well that it works for the plants to provide water to them with me not having to every morning go out and water the plants themselves, my schedule not allowing for it. Next year will come and I’ll do more, plus I still have the winter time for my indoor vegetables I’ll be growing, excited for that.

I agree with you, it is good to see something started, and to imagine them working on expanding it with time!

Now this is interesting, I have been using terracotta pots formed to function like old styled ollas for my plants and have been loving them this year thus far.
