Garden Update

Thought I would post a few photos of our garden and how it is progressing this summer. We planted most of our garden in tires this year - much easier in this hard soil than tilling!

Our tomatoes are starting to get a nice size - we have some heirloom Brandywines that are as tall as our 6 foot privacy fence!





Our second round of Rainbow Swiss Chard - we have 2 tires of these:



One of our Banana Pepper plants:



We also have red, yellow and green bell peppers.

We planted 6 tires of potatoes - 3 potatoes to each tire. We had ants get in two of our tires and kill the plants, so we had to harvest the potatoes already:



We'll put in another fall crop of potatoes as well.

This week I planted some black beans and some green beans, a canteloupe, and a couple more pepper plants, as well as a couple of sweet potatoes as an experiment.
