Anyone have the "itch" yet? (merged)

It's been in the mid 70's, and the nights are only going down to mid 40's. We're expecting rain for the next few days, so I'll plant all the herbs this morning.

Yes, I think that would work. I think the window style would too if you put just one plant in per box (so their roots can spread). Just allow enough "hang space" below. If your railing is 3 - 4 feet up then the height of the planter, you should have plenty of space.


We have a similar one (through Gardener's Supply) and it's great. Like Babe said, it is really heavy! You need to plan support for 60 - 80 pounds. We had a special stand made and it works well. Our's tipped over last year in a storm and broke off the plant. We still got one perfectly round tomato though! Hopefully we'll have better luck this summer!

only one tomato?

Hey, I was happy with just the one after the storm passed through. Lots of others from our grounded plants ... Not sure what about my comment was so funny ... .
