Not sure exactly what this randy poet was referring to. Anyway, allow to introduce my self-watering vegie pots.

Pot 2: Zucchini 'Black Jack', planted from seed; Coriander- seedlings. Planted 12 October.

Ha! Growing veggies! It's nice to see your veggies grow, but here in Canada it's getting a little chilly to grow some now! Uuummmm.....I could show some beautiful Autumn leaves, and acorns and chestnuts.....
....but I do love peeking in to your nice, warm world!

They look so wonderful! I don't have a green thumb, but I admire yours!
Looking great! How big are those pots? I have got a few veggies in pots, but I do struggle to give them enough nutrients later when they are getting big. Any cool tips?
Hi from WTBAY!
I just planted my vege pots yesterday! Not sure how they'll go as I've only ever done tomatoes before (and you have to work hard to kill a tomato plant) but here's hoping... :)
Golly - I am the worst gardener - no green fingers in my household - will watch your garden grow with envy!
I'd love to join in! I'm a complete novice when it comes to growing your own - but you've got to give it a go!
