A while back I was planting onions and ran out of places to put them so I put some in the 25 gal pots with the bald cypress trees. They are supposed to be big onions but I am pulling them up early because they are sucking the water and nutrients away from the tree.

I didn't know you can plant cypress in a pot. I thought they are big trees.

I planted garlic with mulberry in a 25 gal pot. All the garlic died. I probably watered too much.

They do get huge, but you can also keep them small as bonsai in pots. I got these two last year. My plan was to chop them down to 2' tall this spring as soon as they started to leaf out, but I lost interest in bonsai and I like them big now. Actually my wife likes them more than I do. I will eventually put them in the ground, or sell them but I might up pot them one more time before I do that. This pic is from April. One of them wasn't leafed out fully yet. They are even bigger now.

I want to better understand this. You're saying the net harvest is better then with Junebearing? Or the quality?

Is this then just something the pick your own farms grow to keep people coming all seaosn?

I'd rather go out for 30 days straight to pick 5 lbs berries than to go out for 90 days to get the same 5 lbs. It's the time needed. Do you want more berries quicker or same quantity of berries but fewer each day requiring more days picking over longer periods.
