I still just have leaves (I wrote a post on this very thing at my blog careymoonbeam.wordpress.com). I remember reading that not only did bulbs come here quite a long time ago, but that they were very very expensive! We're quite lucky to be able to get them for so cheap now.

]]> Comment on What is an Earthbox? by HandyRandy http://coloradogardening.wordpress.com/2009/02/14/what-is-an-earthbox/#comment-11 HandyRandy Tue, 17 Feb 2009 16:39:40 +0000 http://coloradogardening.wordpress.com/?p=230#comment-11 I, too, was a skeptic when I first saw an EarthBox. But I tried two of them last year and now I'm completely sold. I grew tomatoes in one box and zucchini in the other. In both cases my plants were WAY bigger and healthier than the "control" plants I grew in my garden. And the harvests were double or more of my garden plants. So now I'm hooked on the EarthBox, and I recommend them to everyone! p.s. I'm a Master Gardener, so I'm not new to vegetable gardening. But I've never grown a more impressive crop than I did last year in my EarthBoxes! I, too, was a skeptic when I first saw an EarthBox. But I tried two of them last year and now I’m completely sold.

I just bought....well, an "off brand" of this container/box to try this year, and I really wasn't sure if it was a wise purchase or not. You've encouraged me. I haven't yet decided whether to do more tomatoes in it or to once again try peppers (I'd sworn off of them years ago, but then I bought some "Carmen" pepper seeds on someone's recommendation). Maybe I need to get TWO or THREE of these boxes and do both tomatoes and peppers in them! It's great you were able to buy the box in person so you didn't have to pay shipping costs (I think I've seen these at Good Earth in the past...maybe I'll go check in case I do decide to purchase more).

Have been enjoying your raising veggies blogs since Carey allerted me. Have you tried the long keeper type tomatoes? I used my last "Red October" tomato for a BLT today... a long time in storage but still better than the super market ones . Rich, I didn’t know you were a blogger.
