Except for my father’s garden. He decided to plant some pot for my mom as she had a lot of pain and a cranky disposition. You have to remember he was a prestigious university professor in an upscale neighborhood. He planted them out front where there was sunshine among his tomatoes. They were very happy plants. Grew about 6 feet and flourished. Remember this was pot of the 70s but still it was pretty good. Well good enough that my shrink at the time took large bundles in payment. Oh yeah, those were some weird but good times.
