daylily said:Thanks, Ric. Since I usually grow the lettuce in partial shade when I was able to put it in the ground, I had the pots on the north side of my house in the shade to germinate. It is possible that I just started it to late. I'll try again for fall. I want to make this work, because it's to difficult for me to pick it when I grow it in the ground. Having it raised up a foot in the pots makes all the difference. Thumbs up A lot less slugs in it too....


Juli, just follow my garden progress. I am growing so many things in pots that it is getting to take over my driveway. I will let everyone know how things are doing.

I have lettuce seedlings in ground and lettuce I started myself from seed in a pot. So far the potted lettuce isn't doing much. But I have Bok Choi in a shallow bowl type pot and that is doing fabulously.

Seeds I sowed. The mustard, turnips and Tatsoi have come up already. Waiting on the others. My swiss chard in a bowl is up also.

So far I have to say the zucchini loves it in pots. Growing like crazy. This is the yellow zuc.


Classic Eggplants that I have had planted out the longest of all my eggplants.
