Severe drought, I'll say it aloud my friends. Comments, especially the hill country people? I'm hoping for some more isolated low cells to bring rain like last year. I give the TV weather people the finger everyday now for their pretty weather assessment.

Do a rain dance. :-) Rain should pick up a bit in April, hopefully... That's when I generally plant Tomatoes. I'm seriously considering container gardening them this year in, say, 25 gallon pots. I can keep them watered better by hand so it'd cost me less, and weed control would be less of an issue too. I should be able to do 2 vines each in a pot that size.

Have you had any luck growing them upside down? My girlfriend is selling these kits for a fundraiser and I've seen them in Gardener's but I'm not convinced. I agree with your assessment on doing containers. I have a fairly small raised bed system with one big and two small beds and I had to sacrifice them last year when the rain finally stopped. ;) > >>Severe drought, I'll say it aloud my friends. > >> [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > Have you had any luck growing them upside down? Never tried it. I saw that in another thread on a different list and was considering looking in to that. If I can save on costs, it would be a good thing! I've also considered investing in Hydroponics for the long term, when I've got the current credit card debt paid off. <g> > My girlfriend is selling > these kits for a fundraiser and I've seen them in Gardener's but I'm not > convinced.
