My hubby and I have been planting a garden here in our Minnesota home since I got here in the spring of 2006. Gardening here has been a real challenge compared to the all year round gardening that I was used to in the Philippines. We always had fresh vegetables year round from the fertile soil, warm temperatures and abundant sunlight. Here in northern Minnesota, it has been an entirely different story. The soil here is very poor and sandy and when it doesn't rain for a few weeks it gets dry as a bone. The growing season is so short that there is barely enough time between frosts to get the fruit grown and harvested.
In an effort to extend our growing season, we have begun to attempt growing some of our vegetables in pots that can be started early inside and brought back inside later on. We did have limited success with peppers, lettuce and beets but our tomato plants have not done well in the pots. Fortunately, the tomatoes do seem to do well in our garden soil.
Part of the problem with our potted plants has been poor drainage and bad soil. We improved upon that greatly when we tried using the Miracle Gro Expand n' Gro in combination with some good potting soil.
