Yes, thank you, Becky for starting this. It has been a tremendous help to me. I was about ready to throw in the towel with my 'garden', especially the tomatoes. Of course, I still have a ways to go to get one of those delicious little red things on my plate
Good luck with the peppers you're trying to start.
I made up several self-watering buckets in the past too. I found them to be as successful as the earthboxes. Here in Florida, I'm only using the earthboxes. I just don't have room for any buckets, plus I doubt the park manager would appreciate buckets sitting around.
Thanks for the good wishes, Kristi. We'll be envying you next spring/summer as you get ready to start your garden again. I suppose it doesn't matter where we live, there are challenges to gardening for a variety of reasons. Are you able to grow anything in the fall? When I was in Indiana, I used to grow cauliflower, cabbage and broccoli in the fall. I'd start the plants in late August. Even an early frost didn't bother them. In fact, I think they all did better in the fall than the spring plantings.
