Garden progress is tremendous!

I wish I had the camera! Loren has it with him right now.

The tomatoes are over 5.5 feet tall now, and they have outgrown the cages due to my inattendance at times to cage training.  The plants are impressive and tremendous. They are loaded with fruit.

The rows are actually 45 feet long, so there are even more of them there than I thought. Especially the bush beans. I am harvesting the bush beans right now, and the pole beans that I’m not saving for seed. I am canning them today. So many shapes and colors!
And the summer squash! Wow! What a performance those plants are putting out. I’m baking lots of zuke bread and freezing it. Some bigger ones that escaped our notice until too late are going to the chooks.

We are having some irrigation problems with algae, even with filters in line. It clogs up the T-tape holes.  Have to flush the lines repeatedly to try and help it along.  I wish I had more, but I can’t keep up with weeding what I have.

Am going to start planning for next year while ideas and notes are fresh in my head from this year right now.

This is June of 2007. My garden is above. I no longer garden at home except hydroponically. Now I have garden space at Monty's farm down the road. Look at how good my plants are doing! If you want to know how to grow the best tomato transplants ever, email me and I'll tell you my secrets! These plants are only 5 weeks in the ground and loaded with fruit!
