> I have some starting at the moment,and I also have kept some plants alive for as long as three years in the same pots. Not hard at all, and it is also fun, right John?  Cheers, old Doug on Vancouver Island BC


Doug,

Boy, I'll say it's fun!  I've been a gardener for about 57 years thanks to growing up with gardening parents and neighbors.  I was about 4 when I planted the first seeds in my own little gardening spot in Minnesota.  Been hooked ever since.

And I've been a container gardener since retiring in '93 as my modest home is in a heavily wooded greenway where a 'regular' garden just isn't posible.  There are many advantages to growing in containers.  This is the start of the 3rd year for some of my beloved rocotos so I am 1 year behind Doug in that aspect.
