And thank you, Becky, for starting this thread. Elaine's help and suggestions have given me new enthusiasm again. I am so glad I decided to start some tomato seeds to try 'one last time' this fall. Maybe I'll finally get some tomatoes after all.
I don't know about containers being better than growing in the ground, but I have no choice here. I used earthboxes in Indiana in addition to my in-ground garden and really liked them. I'm glad I kept them when I made the move to FL. It's just so different trying to garden in this climate. Maybe with help from people like Elaine I'll finally feel some success.
The first winter here was very mild, but last winter was much colder even though I think we only got below 40° a couple of times, we had several days where it never got out of the 50's. Hopefully this winter will be a good one and we both can enjoy a good garden.
