Hi Cristina!

I, too, registered my blog for this year’s Blogathon, and was wondering if you’d like to partner up for the guest exchange suggestion on May 14? I’m also a gardener/farmer of sorts, and I love the premise of Outlaw Garden. Your posts are super helpful, even to non-HOA owners!

Hi Cristina,

I noticed you grow your sweet potatoes in bushel baskets. Can you tell me how well the basket hold up from soil & water? Really like the look, not to mention the ease of moving the baskets whenever I want. Really like your site. My front yard would look better all in garden than it does right now. I live in Texas and we are in the middle of a serious drought. Needless to say, weeds and dirt is about the norm. Sadly, I love to garden, just gave up because of restricted watering and heat. Anyway, love the bushel basket idea.
Thanks,
Helen Johnson

Cristina February 14, 2013 at 8:02 am: The bushel baskets lasted two seasons for me, but most had lost their bottoms by the end of the first season. If you’re looking for something that is safely portable, you may want to try a sturdier container. But, if you don’t mind the fact that you’ll need to replace the bushel baskets every couple of years (and can get by without mid-season portability), then the bushel baskets really are a charming choice for the garden. I retired all of mine last fall, and will definitely be replacing them this spring.

Good luck with the garden! I’ve been reading about the Texas drought. Yikes!

Hi! We met at the seed swap. I created a webpage for my garden club, Dirtworks. It’s http://www.dirtworksgardenclub.com. I’d love to see you at future meetups.
