This is why you'll find fall and winter growing (no frost though) a bit easier. No amount of watering is going to make up for too high soil heat.<BR/><BR/>So - it isn't "you" - it's just a technique or two you have to learn. And given the choice between container gardening and in-ground gardening for results - go with the ground every time.<BR/><BR/>p.s. learn compost and heavy mulch techniques down there to build up your soils.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
