    Hi Batavia! Thanks for sharing another awesome garden tour. Your brassicas and peppers are my favorites to see.😊

    Everything looks great cabbage takes so long for the head to form I got tired of waiting so I pulled it chopped it and cooked it lol. I enjoy watching your video.

    Thank you. Your garden is beautiful. When growing season is over how do you store the containers with the soil? This is our 1st bucket gardening, doing fairly well. We are in the same zone.

    Oh, I do hope you'll keep your red cabbage! It takes time for cabbages and some other heading vegetables like many of the radicchios to head up , and to me it's very encouraging that your cabbage has a small head forming—at this stage of the game (and in the heat!), so to speak. This reminds me, my garden is still waiting for the early maturing but late-sown cabbages for this year….

    I, personally, have had THE worst luck with basil, but I've read that in Italy, basil is often grown in a big pot kept near the kitchen door (for convenience, of course! 😃): the seeds are sown rather thickly, and after some judicious thinning, the gardener/cook has a superabundant growth of basil for ready use. No weeds, generally, and the basil itself helps to keep the soil a bit cooler and prevents evaporation of moisture, but then the basil leaves transpire a lot of moisture, I have to suppose. Thought it might be worth a try for you, as your basil seems to do so beautifully for you.

    About the eventual and evidently inevitable breakdown of plastic containers…I've got some, square with sloped sides, less than one gallon each in volume, stashed in the basement where you'd think they'd preserve well: minimal temperature fluctuations, not much in the way of sunlight so very little UV, no wind, no rain, no sleet, no snow…but they very quickly became brittle and weak. They're still usable, if we accept "just barely" as usable and if I find a need for a smaller pot outdoors, but that seems unlikely, for one thing, and I feel fairly sure they'll last only one season, if that, outdoors for another.
    So, it seems possible that your 18-gallon containers might not have much longer life spans even if you were to move them indoors for the winters. Grow bags, from what I understand, also break down after a few years, "a few" being three or four or, according to different sources, up to a century. I've tried those 18-gallon storage bins, the ones made of a slightly less brittle plastic, and they've lasted a few more years than the "harder" ones, even sitting out in the back yard year in, year out, but by now, sitting for at least eleven years since they were first set out, they've reached the end of the road.

    I started container gardening for the first time in May of this year. I'm a first time planter.
    I have over 16 containers and I got all of mine free too.
    I wanna grow up and be like you!
    Your garden is gloriously gorgeous, grand and growing graciously!!!😃🥰 Can you tell me what insecticide you use because a few days ago I noticed munching on some of my plants. TFS. Blessings in abundance to you and your beautiful garden.

    😎Hey Batavia! Excellent use of space with those containers…especially how you pay close attention to extra drainage by raising them off of the ground. I love that creative sweet potato container!! Your plants are super healthy. Hoping you have a wonderful harvest!🌿

    I'm so glad I found you. I'm in NE so I can't garden all year in my containers. The gal I follow does garden year around because she's in CA. I love your videos and your information you share.
