Please be aware ...BEWARE OF PARSNIPS IN CONTAINERS.<br />Please be aware that some people develop large blisters after coming into contact with the sap from parsnip leaves and stems. The reaction also needs sunshine to happen. This is a larger concern with wild parsnip which is an invasive weed. However, for the first time last summer I developed the blisters on my fingers after lightly weeding my garden parsnips on a semi-sunny day. (I usually wait for cloudy days and/or wear long sleeves and gloves.) I was not specifically breaking off any parsnip leaves or stems, and was actually being careful to only touch the weed I wanted to pull. However, a few days later I had a number of blisters which lasted about a week.<br />My concern is that if your parsnips are in a container in a small space, you are more likely to brush against them, and put yourself at risk. I'm sure they can successfully form in a container, but please put it in an out-of-the-way location to keep you and your guests safe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272573987462461341.post-81432649554619589442014-06-26T02:40:06.686-04:002014-06-26T02:40:06.686-04:00I have tomatoes, carrots, corn (yes,corn ) and pot...I have tomatoes, carrots, corn (yes,corn ) and potatoes planted in the large tubs that cattle minerals come in. They make great plants as long as you have drainage holes. I had one farmer ask how many I wanted he had a bunch of them all over his place. I only took 8 but wish now I had taken more. Next spring I think I will get more since I will than be able to plant them so they get the morning sun. Here my area only gets the afternoon sun. sadlyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272573987462461341.post-12472133692724833552013-11-07T03:11:05.865-05:002013-11-07T03:11:05.865-05:00Rhubard grows wonderful in Alaska.

Some have the unique ability to respond with much appreciated intellect and wisdom. Most (like me) choose to ignore and put distance between one that blatantly displays bizarre and rude behavior. To refocus, what is the right container for growing an organic garden? I have old whisky barrels that I have much success with bell peppers and hot peppers, but zero success with tomatoes.

She lives in a mobile home park, so has limited space. She surrounded the pot with chicken wire (the rabbits chewed her loofah last year) and the loofah grew up the wire. She has 2 more ready to harvest. It does not get a big yield, but enough. We live in south central Pennsylvania in case you are wondering the zone. I will be using some of the seeds from her loofah and doing this in my own garden next year. ~Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01135626598525124141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272573987462461341.post-41965614506769442302012-07-03T12:17:07.872-04:002012-07-03T12:17:07.872-04:00lvriniel - I suggest you post your question over o...lvriniel - I suggest you post your question over on our facebook page and you will have access to over 26,000 other gardeners who can offer you some great feedback on your question.

I moved 28 times in 23 years so my containers go with me whereever I have to move. I grow a full herb garden, lavenders, basil,sage,thyme,rosemary, Lemon Verbena(for my own homemade teas) in containers. They all do great. I also grow Nemisha, Diaschia and gerainimes along with jasmine. You do have to watch them for dryness.
