After a horrible attempt at gardening last year I have really turned it around this year. I bought my gardens in plants this year instead of the seeds planted from last year. I have peas, tomatoes, and green peppers all going strong. I am using green peppers and tomatoes in the upside down planters which seems to grow them stronger and healthier. I can't plant in the ground from my apartment because it is mostly rocks and gravel, the only grass belongs to the top floor apartment. The rest of my plants are all in planters. I have only been able to harvest peas so far, but my tomatoes are flowering and my green peppers are tiny but growing bigger every day.
