The veggies we are growing in containers are doing better than the veggies in the raised bed- with the exception of shallots and herbs which are doing well in the raised bed. But tomatoes, peppers, squash, greens, and eggplant are thriving in pots of all shapes and sizes. I’ve raised most up onto various surfaces like an old picnic table, lawn chairs, and benches. This seems to solve the snail and slug problems because the plants are high off the ground. I have seen a groundhog and a flock of wild turkeys checking out the container plants, but so far no damage done. Raising the containers is also easier on gardeners' backs!
This is how the vegetable container garden looked on the morning of July 23, 2022.
