Snip: So production and yield really come second to the possibility of
getting one good transplant into a pot that my wife would consider letting
me bring into the house to overwinter......Snip:The planter is probably
around 25 - 30'' around, and maybe 20" high. Seems a 27"X20" planter
small enough to consider for overwintering...My wife allowed me 20 pots &
pails in cellar. If not & you need to transplant now, take large knife, cut
1/3 of soil around best plant & transplant to smaller pot. No basis on
experiences or plant factoid, just my gut feeling.
Snip:To be honest, I always grow way more than I know what to do with
anyway.
OK, you grow MORE than you know what to do with???? In WI???? Damn your
better than me! Between drying, preserving & sauces, I haven't "grown"
enough in the past two years. If you need any help with what to do with your
"bumper" crop, let me know, I'll send you postage to forward your excess.
