If using 5 Gallon buckets for planters, what soil mix should you use? I used a potting soil with miracle grow in it last year and it didn't work out too good.

interesting planters for 5 gallon buckets.. What's interesting to me is that I did this EXACT example on my own last year, and thought I'd come up with something really original.. Not so much. http://plant-parenthood.com/?page_id=60

You can use "Mel's Mix" which is 1/3 Compost, 1/3 Vermiculite, and 1/3 Peat Moss. Good stuff...

my peas are about 2" tall now.. Just rigged up my drip irrigation/mini sprinkler system to my garden. It looks like it's going to work real and won't waste a lot of water.

I planted my garden last week end. One pack of seeds each cantaloupe and water melon. One place for each, dumped all the seeds in hole and hope for the best, probably get the worst.

Has anyone on here grown the Sweet 100 tomato plant before? I picked up 4 and now that I've done some research, it appears they can grow somewhere between 1 foot to 15 feet depending on the conditions...That's a HUGE difference in size...It's a cherry tomato plant (not what I wanted, but my sisters love them so I guess that's good), but I've never grown them...
If you've grown them, what was your experience like?
Also, has anyone grown the Lemon Boy variety? It's an heirloom plant that is supposed to produce 7 oz to 8 oz tomatoes that are yellowish clear in color...I will be picking up some of those too... they didn't produce as much as I would have liked plant only got to about 6 foot.I used wire baskets on these because there cherry tomatos are so heavy on the stem

LSS or anyone else, is there such as thing as "must do" and/or "must not do" on planting different vegetables next to each other? For instance would planting peas next to stringbeans be okay or would there be something in one that inhibits the other? I just pulled those two examples out of the air, but I think you get what I'm asking.

Just saw the weather which is saying around the Waco area it could get to the upper 30's tonight and both the D/FW and Waco areas could be in the mid to upper 30's on Sunday night...Watch your most tender plants...2 litter bottles and 1 gallon jugs can be used to cover them (just leave the caps off)...

How many more times do you think it'll freeze, LSS?

Of course, even without a frost, the 30's aren't a good temp for the pepper or tomato plants...
