When I was in the processes of retiring from the Air Force, we sold our house and moved into a 3rd floor apartment in OKC, OK. We moved 50+ potted containers--I still get reminded of it.

I noted your love of native plants--I have a lot on our property too.

You should wait a week or two to plant the tomatoes just to make sure there is no sneak attack from old Jack Frost. I have some planted now, but will have to cover them this evening as there is a chance for freezing over night. It can be a bit tricky the next couple of weeks so just be ready to cover them on short notice, and remember that you will need to put supports in place to keep the cover from touching the plants.

You can see it from any window on the back side of our house, and neighbors get a nice peek driving by!

It was taken in the Chinese Gardens in Sydney. I must say that group of photos came out good enough to enter in a contest. It was a beautiful day too.

Thanks for the comments about the Fine Gardening container contest last year. I love containers also, and also many of the same plants that you do. I would love to see your garden, and would like for you to see mine as well. Sounds like you have done a lot of work!
