The back of my yard floods very easily in recent years so I have gone from in ground planting to containers. I'm only doing tomatoes and parsley, some basil maybe. I bought some self watering containers from Gardeners Supply and have been using them for several years. It works pretty good. The keys are (a) do smaller type tomatoes - I wouldn't do beefsteaks in them, (b) make sure it is always watered, especially when the plants get big and the weather is hot, (c) give it plenty of fertilizer. Right now I have them set up and they are just waiting for the plants. I have the plants and am hardening them off right now. I plan to plant in the next several days. I'll try to post pics as I get things going.

Hi Mike, not abandoning the CUBS at all, I have thoroughly enjoyed the heck out of the CUBS all last year and this year too. I just thought I would go with a more neutral name here, I don't want (misguided) folks who might support some other team to have negative feelings about me just because of my name (there are better reasons for that, lol).

Thank you about the cake compliment. I made that using an Arrowhead Mills vanilla cake mix as the base and baked it in a 6 cup bundt pan. It was pretty good but a couple of weeks prior I did the same but used lemons. The lemon version was awesome! Maybe I will post it in the recipe section.
