What a thrill to pick fresh vegetables from my container garden this year. I haven’t had a garden for 4 years, so I was determined to do a little of it this year somehow – and containers proved the answer.

There are so many trees around my house that there is no place to put a traditional garden and have it get enough sunlight. So I bought some large pots and put in two tomato plants, 7 green pepper plants and 1 jalenpeno plant. Then I strategically placed each pot in a place that would get sun and rain.

They are doing marvelously and we are picking from them daily now. Time to stock up on bacon so we can have our BLTs!
