Because we live in a townhome community, there is no growing vegetables in the ground. In the early years here, I purposefully bought humungous plant pots and planted large breed tomatoes and green peppers and jalepeno and habenero peppers. Nowadays I buy those at the farmer’s market and stick to our daylilies, hostas, asian lilies and sedum plan. Ocassionally, however, I “stumble” into something I may or may not give away.
Last year our CSA gave chives in one of our first weeks and we really enjoyed those. If you know chives, though, it’s probably a good thing it stayed in a plant pot! This year I found a new way for tomatoes. A co-worker’s daughter is in robotics (yeay, girls in STEM!) and they were doing a fundraiser. I bought a ‘Sweet and Neat’ pre-potted tomatoe plant. It came highly recommended, and wowser! it did not disappoint! On this little plant I have already had about 70 large cherry tomatoe sized fruits, and now in the past couple weeks it has grown more! Definitely a good choice this year.
