A coworker of mine is an accomplished container gardener. At a recent work party, I talked to her about my predicament. She had all kinds of useful advice ("Ditch the carrots, replant the cukes!") and followed up by sending me lettuce seeds that have worked really well for her. She also sent along two planting calendars for this area. So helpful!
So, this weekend I suppose I'll take some time to tend the garden. DH and I talked about extending our drip system to reach the containers. Sounds like it'll cost around $20 to do that ourselves. Now we just need to decide where to put them!
Also, my sister is moving out of the state and has agreed to leave their gardening stuff with us! Yay! They have a bunch of seeds and maybe some still-growing plants we can transplant. We'll see what we end up with there.
And, the cosmos keep growing beautifully. They need to be thinned out a bit so they don't choke themselves, but I'm looking forward to seeing them blossom one day!
