My son planted strawberries in a planter. He loves to water them then pick and eat.

The best fertilizer is mulched leaves roto-tilled in during the spring, all the leaves I mulch up into our zero-turn's bagging system go right in the garden. Come spring you'll have perfect soil. We also have a huge compost pile that gets tilled in.

Post by: 05450r on July 06, 2013, 02:21:59 PM: Thats a good idea about the compost,we need to get a pile started. This was our first garden as a family,next year we will expand. I planted everything in tires this year,next year I will plant a cedar raised bed. I used all organic dirt,mulch and fertilizer,the fert. is actually earthworm casings. Seems to be working good,Ive been eating toms for 2 weeks now,and the jalapenos are almost ready! I will put the jap plants inside over the winter and replant next year.

Post by: voelker on July 10, 2013, 02:21:37 PM: I have a jalapeno, habanero and strawberry plant growing. Just picked the first habaneros the other night. Have my second harvest of jalapenos growing right now! No strawberries have grown yet, but the plant is HUGE!

I love hot stuff! I have a plan to make some bacon wrapped stuffed habaneros, like most people do with jalapenos. I hope they come out good!

Post by: MANIAK on July 15, 2013, 01:35:50 AM: Well, I'm not much of a gardener but most of my neighbors are. Hundreds and hundreds of these five leaved plants that are about 7 feet tall and smell like @$$. I just love living in the California foot hills were weed is everywhere and junk food is scarce.

My house however is where cacti come to die. Yes, true statement, I can't even grow a cactus. But my neighbor's house is paid off, along with his toyhauler, boat, jet skis, quads, long travel rail, teryx, RZR, three duramax's, and god knows what else.

The guy doesn't even have a job for gods sake..... aaargh!!! I hate not being a pot head!!!!
