Looks like they are on track for the perfect size plants. I did the same. Keep them smaller.

I believe they are called AirPots, I bought them five or six years. I started using them indoor, but they dried out too fast for me. They require too much attention so I switch to bags but they work great for outdoor the way I use them. :+1:t3::v:t3:

We get the occasional Gopher or vole. so I take a very large pot or whatever I can find that is domed and large in diameter and I cut a hole in the bottom the size of the air pot I’m going to use. Then I dig a hole big enough to put it in and make it a larger area beneath. Then I put good soil under the whole thing put hardware wire on top of it put the outer pot in the hole over the hardware wire. Then I stand on the edge of the pot and backfill all the way around and put the AirPod inside with no bottom in it on top of the hardware wire and fill it with Soil. This makes of barrier for crawling bugs between the ground and the pot. It also lowers where the roots go into the ground below the normal depth that a gopher would dig. if the gopher was to get to the roots, he would not get to the base of the plant so he would not kill it. Kind of a gap stop, it gives you a chance to locate what’s going on before it happens. A gopher can eat off the base of a plant and you Don’t even know he’s there. The more the gopher digs around more chance you have to get him before he does major damage. I also put hardware wire underneath my raised beds for my vegetables. Nothing worse than going out to pull off a zucchini and picking up the whole plant when you grab it because something ate the root off the night before. Have you ever been in your garden and saw some movement over by your carrots right before one disappeared underground? I have. Anyways, I think that covers it. :laughing::v:t3:

Yep we got voles here and big mice here almost rat sized. I have 3 outdoor feral cats for this very reason. Nothing makes it through my yard. I have this one cat mr. Fuzz and that cat eats a lot of birds. He seems to eat a lot of blue jays! He is a fast mother f’r. sad some times when hes toying with his kill and the parents are all squawking and dive bombing him. He almost got one of the parents as they flew in to attack. But hes alread got his prize so he doesnt bother too nuch. Ive seen him almost get humming birds…he is that fast. So the outside cats are like my garden and yard guards!
