UPDATE!!!

Here is a mask that I made for a masquerade party, I suppose that I could have taken pictures along the way but it didn't happen that way. Plaster of Paris, J-cloth, feathers, acrylic paint, facecloth lined inside, and elastic straps.

Strawberries! These are an everbearing variety given to my by a friend that I overwintered indoors.


Strawberries!

Broccoli and cauliflower plants grown in a container, these plants did not have the same pest problems as the ones I planted in the ground, Cabbage Maggots attacked the roots of my broccoli and cauliflower in my raised bed and all but one plants are gone now.

Tomatoes are getting taller! I have already harvested and eaten 5 Sun Sugar Hybrid cherry tomatoes!

Peppers and eggplant need homes

Big containers mean big plants, the above ground parts of a plant are proportional to their underground parts, so if you provide more room for a bigger root mass you will support a larger plant with more fruit! Big pots also don't dry out as fast as small pots, but once the plants are really big they will still need daily watering on hot days.
