[QUOTE="amcardon, post: 2124321, member: 26766"] We've been spending a lot of time prepping for a garden this year. I made a couple elevated beds (as seen [URL="http://www.raisedurbangardens.com/"]HERE[/URL]) that we'll start in the garage and move out to the back patio. So far we've started more tomato plants than we know what to do with, planning on 6 potato barrels (anybody have a cheap source for white 55gal plastic drums?), have about 50 strawberry plants in containers, and are trying to figure out how we want to plant our 4x8' raised bed. We are pretty limited to growing in containers since we are only allowed a single 4'x8' raised bed. We've never had the best luck with tomatoes in containers but we're going to try a couple tips to see if we can have a better crop this go-round. One of the things I want to try out is compost tea - seems intriguing and lots of people absolutely swear by it. Since we're new to OK (recently moved here from Portland, OR) this will also be a trial of gardening with the hot summers we have here, especially compared to the mild ones we had back in Portland, as well as gardening in the cement, I mean, soil we have here in OK... Hopefully the sun won't burn up everything we're putting in! [/QUOTE]
