Went out and got a whole bunch of rectangular pots, one that hangs on a fence. Got another large pot, very large and decorative, big enough to put a squash in.
Also got a Serrano pepper.
Spent $3 on 64 cardboard pots. They won't take as much dirt as the newspaper pots, and are big enough to plant squash in, unlike the smaller, cellpack-sized newspaper pots. These cardboard pots are the same size as a Jiffy pot but about a dollar cheaper.
Repotted tomatoes. Now we have: 5 tigrella, 1 kumato, 1 green zebra
