We wheeled and moved the pots during the storm to close to the patio and under the overhang so they would just get watered a bit and not drowned. Love the wheels on the lettuce. We've got to get more of them next year.

By finished, I don't mean totally done, I just mean we'll take care of what we have. If something doesn't make it, we'll use the pot for something else, but no more expansion until next year.

    Have fun with your container gardening Smile My mom found her topsy turvy too heavy- did you use a light weight soil in yours? I wondered if she used too heavy a mix, or if the thing was just too heavy for her.

    I used to have a lot of large heavy pots on my patio and those wood wheeled sliders were great. Yesterday at the dollar store I saw wire wheeled ones for, yes, $1.
