I have given up this year.  I’m sick of watering — again.  This has become a common theme from year to year.  The alley vines were the worst ever this year even with my soaker hose solution.  The drought conditions we’re still under since July has been devastating without some sort of drip irrigation.  The tomatoes produced but the habeneros failed miserably for the first time.  Sunflowers turned out to be a terrible companion plant.  Eggplants did not produce much because of them.  Will need to come up with a plan for next year.  My main goal is to replace half the tomato containers with 7.5 cu. ft. ones.  This will be a 150% increase so I’ll be able to see how container size affects growth and productivity.  I did learn some things this summer so it wasn’t a total loss.  Will contemplate and post a list of what to do next year and what I learned this year.  Until then …
