What are people using for containers? I made myself 4 EarthTainers last year and they seem to work pretty well. I am growing a total of 4 tomato plants, 2 in 2 separate EarthTainers. Then I made 2…Continue

Thank you Easter bunny
Seems like it might be a good year. I planted my tomatoes just a bit early, and they weather the late snow we had in Dallas. I planted my first trial on potatoes just a bit after optimal. Now, I have finished planting the rest of my garden. I have a small garden of only 2 small 4x4 beds. I am sorta following the square foot method. Today I added a poblano pepper plant, then by seed I put in the ground: squash, zucchini, cucumbers, cantaloupe, carrots, beets, radish, onion, spinach, watercress,…See More

- Kev, the Austin Meet and greet went VERY well. Not as much turnout as I might have hoped for, but our fault for scheduling during Easter week. FOOGS actually will have a presence at the Green Expo. I don't know if I will be there, but we will have people there. Please come on down! As for the Dallas get together, I am targeting the weekend of 17th. I should have confirmation this evening.
Thanks for your interest and support!!

Say hi when you can! We look forward to your participation, ideas and feedback! Also, check out our Facebook site too! http://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/pages/FOOGSorg-For-Our-Own-Goods/159151922905?ref=ts
