Pot conundrum
So I have 2 pots left, 1 20 inch, 1 17 inch. The 20 holds 3 cubic feet of
soil, the 17 holds 1.25. I have seedlings in need of planting, a black beauty zuke and some lemon yellow cukes. What would give me the best bang for the buck? 2 or 3 cukes in the 20 and the zuke in the 17, or 2 cukes in the 17 and 1 cuke in the 20? Or some other combo? I could get another pot but I am trying to budget this so the food I produce is at least equal to the cost of growing them. |

Both of those will require the whole pot. Find some bowls or large cans to plant the others. Either recycle some old cans or go trash picking- in either case, wash them out with bleach (with lots of rinses afterwards) or run them through a hot dishwasher. Chris |

Give them something to climb up in the sun. D |
