    I quit a couple years ago. Fat lady next door installed a hot tub outside. Chemicals destroyed the soil. Musta been the alum.

    My 84 year old stepdad already has tomatoes and peppers up about 4" tall. He raises all his plants from seed. He has built removable shelves for the window sills in the house. He rotates the little seedlings from window to window on a daily basis until it's warm enough to put them outside. He really enjoys growing and giving to all the family. Nothing better than some fresh veggies!
    Good luck with yours.

    I don't get too carried away. I only have 1- 8' and 1- 12' raised bed to tend to and 2/3 of the 8' bed is asparagus. I only plant peppers, tomatoes, okra, green beans and sometimes squash in the early to summer season, and not too many of those. I plant 7 top and mustard greens in August, that way they are ready for Thanksgiving for my Mom. I usually tend to the garden patch in the evenings, or after a fishing trip, those don't last all day anymore. Watering is handled by soaker hose and a watering timer.

    I do the same at times, we have the Chattanooga Market on Sunday mornings during the season which starts in April.

    I've grown a lot of those same veggies over the years and a large variety of peppers. The bugs don't fool with peppers much -- especially the hot ones. I combine my crappie fishing with my gardening and use crappie heads as fertilizer.

    You know, I think I have a bag or two of Crappie trimmings in my garage freezer.... Thanks for reminding me about them.

    I’ve been growing in containers for several years now. Couple years ago I put two crappie skeletons in each pot. Best tomato, squash and pepper harvest I’d ever had.
