When doing this you should be sure the pots are big enough for given plants possiblel root growth and you will likely need to water them almost twice as often as the dirt tends to dry out. Also right before they turn red either cover them or harvest them as birds will ruin your tomatoes as they cant stay away from the brigher colors.

When it got to the point I couldn't buy razor blades for under $10, I knew somethign was going to have to give, so we doubled the size of our modest garden and moved space-suckers like squash and cucumbers to another plot to make room for more varieties in th emain garden. (and BTW--if you're strapped for space you can grown climbers like cukes and summer squash, etc. on a fence) I would encourage anyone to try growing some veggies--it's a lot easier than you think, even if you have no experience. Even a less-than-bumper crop will ease your grocery bill. You really don't have a lot to lose. I’m with you here!

Another good idea is the get a trailer full of black dirt from your cities compost and put it in your garden before planting. Fresh dirt and irrigation are the secrets to a large produce.
