[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1174694, member: 14668"] This year I threw together some 3'x3' planter boxes out of used cedar fence boards I had lying around, and my wife and I spent about $100 on bags of fresh potting soil and some plants. We planted bell peppers, 3 different kinds of cucumbers, some snap peas, and basil. We have already learned a few things; cucumbers will overwhelm anything they share a box with, 3 plants was too many, and 1 pea plant wasnt enough. Oh well, its fun and we have a bumper crop of cukes already. We also do 6 tomato plants every year in pots, and they are doing very well this year. I set up a soaker hose with a snap coupling on it so watering consists of unreeling a hose, snapping it to the soaker, and turning the water on for an hour or two. A shot of Miracle Gro every couple of weeks, and the work is done.
