Are you using a well draining potting mix?

And what variety of tomato and pepper? And what companion planting did you use?

I assume you were the ONE out a hundred who had a perfect garden this year?

Nope.
Only did perennial flowers and shrubs this year.

Clover did well - no pitch.
But it attracts deer. So I was looking to container garden herbs next year... maybe some veggies... but I have never grown in containers.

Just need a different thread for advice on that.

My pine needles and pitch shared nicely with my tomatoes which we are still eating- and cukes. And I must have pulled 200 little maple trees out of my containers. But no pine trees. I won't talk any more about the garden so I won't get in trouble.

Made the mistake of resting my bare arm on neighbors mail box while chatting........aarrrgghhhh......covered with pitch.

Brake cleaning spray works well

Peanut butter takes pine sap off hands.

But what happens when you lick the PB off to clean your fingers?
