fdd,

from last year's grow and even some of this year's, what are the pro's and con's that YOU have found in the matter of container gardening vrs. in the ground?

and also, do you thing raised beds would be one step up, no pun intended, from straight ground?

and finally, this year you topped and such the plants, what do you think they would be like if left to themselves?

in the ground, with good soil, is far superior to using pots (especially black ones outside). Raised beds are the best! I like it when they are raised 2 1/2 feet to 3 feet. Get some super monsters out of that, but expensive for the soil. I am pretty sure they would look a bit like Christmas trees if they weren't topped :P ........ just my opinion....

You can fairly easily make raised beds if you double dig them... Plus that allows more aeration and freer growth, plus no extra soil purchases. Just throw some compost down when you double dig. That would indeed be FAR superior to pots.
