The STAR of the Soda Pop Bottle Garden!
The Pop Bottle Garden
Pop bottles... milk jugs... whatever it takes!
Green Beans - produced beans even without transplanting outside of a 4" pot
Lettuce
Broccoli
and More Broccoli
Misc untransplanted plants ... corn is about 18" high
Green Beans
Cucumbers - VERY happy!
And More Cucumbers
Green Beans that were either transplanted (on the right), or started in 1 gal pot from seed (left)
The lone Pea plants (2-3) pot on the left is from original seedlings - pot on the right was started directly in this pot.

... How does your Garden Grow? ....

I'll have to take updated pics, but wanted to update the status. We've got green beans ready to pick... large blooms on all of the cucumber plants. One bloom on a tomato plant. The tomato plants are growing like wildfire in their soda containers. The birds made off with my pepper and ocra seedlings, so I'll have to replant those. Considering putting those in soda bottles as well. Corn is still hanging in there, but desperately needs to be planted in 1-2 gallon planters. I have been lazy and haven't purchased any more potting mix, so the garden has suffered a scoch - but will have a lifely comeback this week!

Stay tuned for updated pics tonight.
