Plants are approximately 18" high after one month in buckets
Our earliest plants were put in the self watering buckets back on May 11th, one month ago. The following photos were taken on June 9th but with plenty of warm weather and rain, the plants are even bigger than what you see in the photos. Even the little seedlings that I thought about tossing, but decided to make two more buckets for, are thriving.
We have a total of 14 self watering container buckets this year.

I thought I would include a photo of my Blue Girl Holly bushes that I planted exactly one year ago. Last year when they were first put in the ground, I planted tomato plants between them since the space was almost four feet. This year I won’t plant anything since they seem to be spreading out very nicely. If you look at the one plant on the right side of the tree, it is the only male plant. Earlier it had quite a number of little seeds on the branches but they are now gone and the bush looks like it’s touch and go. It may just be that it is more of a tree than a bush and has a leaner look. I needed one male to make the berries set on the females.
