Too dry, too hot, too shallow?<br /><br />As for the SIPs, they didn't get waterlogged but the plants themselves did get rather fried from the sun. But that made the appearance of fruit that much more gratifying.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06436575125813288660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3161424655689380473.post-78166680658196707002009-09-10T08:58:44.950-05:002009-09-10T08:58:44.950-05:00I LOVE reading your blog!

And we picked so many beans, we were able to freeze some...amazing! Peppers and eggplant have also been non-stop. Thankfully, all of the bounty has lessened the disappointment of the tomatoes. Oh well...there is always next year ;-)<br /><br />Donna H.RVcookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11452245364380285013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3161424655689380473.post-50193283404694032282009-09-09T22:22:58.987-05:002009-09-09T22:22:58.987-05:00Hi Martha,

Did it ever take off? <br /><br />It's nice to hear that Nance's 50/50 coir and worm castings potting mix worked in the SIPs. We weren't sure if it would wick water properly or if the plants would get waterlogged. <br /><br />Hi Kimj,<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by. I think growing potatoes in containers makes a lot of sense.<br /><br />I'm trying to grow <a href="http://greenroofgrowers.blogspot.com/2009/08/potato-box-update.html" rel="nofollow">potatoes in a box</a> this year.

I'm steeling myself for the next few weeks -- that fleeting window when it's physically impossible keep up with the amount of food coming out of the garden.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06436575125813288660noreply@blogger.com
