Lots of people also use railroad ties for garden borders to give them an authentic look and border; I'd recommend not doing this as they are covered in creosote.

the irony is that my garden (not by my doing) has railroad ties as its boarder.

now im worried about them creosotes desolving into my tomatos

As long as they aren't in direct contact you're probably gonna be ok. They're great for pesticide type bordering because the fumes during heat and such will drive away bugs and such. They can and will wilt leaves and and eat away at things if put in direct contact, but it's not a sort of "oh no we need to get rid of these."

I'd just dig and plant a bit further away and try and keep your foliage from draping down to them or vining out to them.

the plant bed is maybe 3.5 feet wide so whe i water the plants my concern is that the leeching of the chemicals starts when i over water, plants are roughtly a foot away so i know roots are atleast touching



tried my first tomato yesterday
was good

i have 3 pepper plants. was first time trying this year, and did horribly from seed xD

habanero, thai chili, and bell pepper plants

got a few habaneros. the thai chili and bell peppers are a little bit behind ;'/

i planted my peppers to close to my tomatos
the tomatos are growing so big that they are now smothering the peppers of sunlight

These plants are getting huge. its a shame i didnt plant them futher apart.

I grow weed

i live in Florida and drop mangoes/papaya/orange/pineapple tops after I finish eating them. and then BOOM, they grow sometimes.

does that count?
will take picture if it does.

dry them out first and theyre more likely to grow. we grew a mango tree a couple years ago but we're in ny, so it died in the winter...
