Yes, not many leaves on the deck plant. Good idea using something like the Waterpik.
Here's the garden in the back yard. It's very small, but it's an experiment this year. A majority of my tomatoes were eaten last year, maybe by squirrels? I made it small because I didn't want to invest a lot of time/money and end up with the same situation. The fence on the bottom is referred to as 'cloth' - very small spaces, and expensive. If results are good this year, I will expand it next year. There's also chicken wire on top. So far it appears nothing has been eaten, and the 2 plants seem to be doing well.
