We did this on Thursday. Its been a busy few days.
I started by scrubbing out a couple clay pots I kept from the house. As water evaporates through the clay, salts and micro organisms can contaminate them. So a good scrubbing helps out. I did this while the boys were sleeping. While I had opportunity, I planted both pots up to the top level. Then when the boys eke up, I could help them plant the top, easy level of these multipots.
When it came time, though, neither Duncan or Tristan was willing to touch the plants.
In the strawberry (taller) jar, I alternated strawberries, green peppers and cherry tomatoes. Strawberries are on the top. At the end of tomato season, I'll remove the annuals and root some strawberry runners in their place. The herb (smaller) pot has peppers, cherry tomatoes and some chives that survives the move.
I guess I'm also my own farmer, huh?
