Well, my pot ghetto is only a few steps from my kitchen door so that I am over there often. I soon see any problems that might arise. And I do have to water those pots every day.
Not all my veggies are in pots. I have 62 tomato plants in various tomato beds. When I dream of having a farm I see myself with at least 200 tomato plants. And I have peppers and cucumbers and beans all in ground. My dream hobby farm is really an oversized veggie garden with chickens.
I just love to grow veggies. Love growing them. The great part about living in typical suburbia is that no one else around grows veggies so I can easily give them all away. My neighbors and friends all look forward to summer veggie season because they know they get free fresh veggies.
