So the season is getting along and I thought I'd post a quick update on my new raised beds. They're fully planted now, have been for nearly a month. I'm proud at how well they've handled the weeks of rainstorms we had a while back. The heat may prove a different result, as I"ve noticed my cinder blocks seem to be shifting in the dead-heat of the afternoon (up in the nineties). That scares me, but what can I do.

I'm going to try going with all cages this year, at least up in these raised raised beds. I'll post more pics down the road, as these really don't show the full arrangement. I thought I'd throw in a couple of my peppers and my far too closely placed corn stalks. Pic2 is Pruden's Purple, and I believe Pic4 is Stump of the World. I also have a Sungold that now has several small green cherry fruit developing, so it's first.

Enjoy the week.
