Hi all;
Attached are some updated garden shots. I have a deck and a little grass in front but can't grow where the grass is because the pine trees overhang it. My solution was containers. I am finally getting the hang of it. There are two shots from above (one through the screen which I included because it shows the pole my runner beans go up) and one that I took after I realized I could just take the screen out. There is a picture of my big Taiga plant (from the KARMA project) which is as tall as the glass door on the house. There is a shot of my two gray totes of pole beans and of bush beans (I have another with Swiss Chard as well). One shot has 2 of my 10 x 5 gallon self watering containers. The tomato (Left bucket) is Sophie's Choice. The right bucket is Jimmy Nardello's sweet Italian frying pepper. Both are doing great. All the main tomato plants are in Earthboxes. I have 4 regular sized tomatoes in the back row and then 4 Dwarves in the two other Earthboxes. All in all a very satisfying and easy to manage garden. I hope you enjoy it. Pete
