I agree that large plants can be grown in tiny containers and spaces with nutrients, and have to admit that I have so much space that,... I can only imagine growing that way if I did not. Thats all. I have a neighbor who has a half acre also who is a writer for a local newspaper here locally and did an article on how to grow herbs inside on your kitchen countertop in one of those tiny flourescent light units they used to sell. She had the spindliest little micro Basils and such and where was that Cherry Tomato going to go when it outreached her countertop light?

Hmmmmmmm I'm thinking.;............Florida,...shes got a half acre of space,... herbs grow like weeds, my basils were already 3 ft. tall, tons of giant tomato plants in my yard,.....etc.etc..............

(name change) "Gladys, (I say) With that huge ole' beautiful yard of yours why don't you just do an article on really growing them?!"

This is a person who writes articles on occasion about gardening, who really does not garden and gets most of her information from compiled and adjusted internet information from numerous sites. Go figure!

I love her though, because she is a fun, good neighbor who is a complete ditz and delight on short visits....
