Summer veggie gardening in containers

These veggie combos should produce a lot through the summer.

Working on veg gardening this year 👍🏻 About to harvest my potatoes as well…..wondering if my Kennebecs are ready. End of the road for my spring crops - lettuce, spinach, radishes….what to plant next? Started ‘Early Girl’ tomato harvest as of yesterday:::::I don’t know WHAT I am doing tho they seem to have graced me with some fruit! Butternut squash is looking good. Amazing how that goes from “gorgeous & healthy” to “squash bug infestation” in about 48 hours….yikes! Did you add any Espoma fert to those containers? Love the twin outfits! 🤣🤣

Ohhh squash bug solution!!!! Sprinkle diatomaceous earth on the stem. It really works! I will post a video about it as I need to do it today!

Hey Brie, I had a quick question, how long roughly, does it take for poppies to turn brown or the windows to open from the day the flower petals fall off? Mine got ruined last year and it seems the ones I’ve grown indoors happens a lot quicker. Thank you

Temps and rain influence it, but it’s about 2-3 weeks from flowering till the early stages of ripening.

Watch out for Abby. I can tell she really wanted to turn that hose on you. 😅

Can pots like your square pots that recently had the potatoes in them be purchased locally or online?

[@BrieThePlantLady]

So I was just searching online and found them on chewy.com of all places! I ordered 2 to see what they are like compared to the ones I have. I got these years ago from a nursery friend. I think they are called “pond pots”. They also seem to have them at Lowes, but I’m not sure of the size.
