Today I planted about 25 'Kentucky Blue' Pole Beans in a 30 gallon Rubbermaid self watering container. Again I used a mix of bark fines, sphagnum peat, and perlite in a ratio of about 5:2.5:1.

Broccoli Update
Submitted by Kevin on Wed, 04/01/2009 - 07:25
The broccoli in the self watering containers continues to grow well. Here are some updated photos. I think It might rotate the container so they don't grow to sideways.

I was going to start a lot of herbs for cooking, but I only ever got around to the basil. It started from seed indoors late January. Here it is now. This on in the photo is still in a seed pot.

Strawberry Update

The strawberries are growing decently, but not as well as I hoped. The problem, I believe, is the soil. It was wrong and I knew it, but I thought it would be alright.

Planted Radishes Today
Submitted by Kevin on Wed, 03/25/2009 - 21:27
I planted radishes today. They grow so fast that I just planted 1/2 of the container (about 35 seeds) and will plant the other half in about 2 weeks and keep them staggered.

Peas in Containers Growing Strong
Submitted by Kevin on Wed, 03/25/2009 - 21:23
The peas are growing strong, showing no sign of slowing down. If anything they keep growing faster. The best thing is I have not watered since I planted the seed! Here are some updated photos.
