KB>MJ> Karen, you have to remember that John lives in an area where the
KB>MJ> temperatures are radically different than where you & I live.

KB>I know its hard to imagine that it really gets 110 in the shade, and that i
KB>gets much hotter than that in the sun.  Sun on those black containers heat
KB>up the roots.  Believe it or not, tomatoes (which all the gardening books
KB>say do best in full sun) actually do better in partial shade in the
KB>extremely hot parts of the summer.

I have had consistent problems here in San Diego growing fruit or Vegi's
in containers, that are not under some type of sun shade.  In my old
house I had a arbor that was 15 X 10 that I could drape shade cloth on
in the summer to help provide shade for the plant containers.  When that
happens, then I get excellent plant growth and fruit.

I also noted your comment to John about the 1.5 liter plastic soda
containers, those bottles have more lives than a cat, water containers,
plant starters, dry goods storage, etc etc
