I bought four enormous pots, and need to get more dirt. However, I did manage to put a tomato, a cherry tomato, and a poblano pepper in three of the pots. In my new love affair with companion gardening (among other things), I have also put an herb or something in each of the big pots, so that the two plants can help each other.
Poblano (center) and green onion (tiny, front left):
Cucumber (complete with bamboo trellis and cone for watering):
Tomato, with basil in front, and cone-bottle contraption for watering:
Cherry tomato (haven't decided about his companion plant yet. Maybe sage or more basil):
I haven't decided about the cone contraption for watering, either. Mostly it seems to seep out really fast, while I thought the point was to seep out slowly so as to combat midday dryness. But what do I know.
I also got some gerbera daisies, which are my new favorite flower. They're so happy and bright.
