Next few years he is going have to back off and the amount he plants. Nothing better than fresh tomatoes though. The tubs are a great idea!Rondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12302103995273593694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244310405074901666.post-50609987065077349982009-07-09T09:42:43.558-05:002009-07-09T09:42:43.558-05:00My parents had a huge garden and Dad always wanted...My parents had a huge garden and Dad always wanted marigolds planted along the edges - to keep the bugs away. I just think the marigolds looked so cheerful as a border. Good ideas for using the cans as drainage.

Plus it adds so much color with very little effort. I'm not wasting my gas either to drive to take the cans. <br /><br />Me?
