This.


We were able to plant lettuce, onions, carrots, pumpkin, peas, and tomatoes. Early on we did well with lettuce and we were able to snip back and have several more regrow a couple more times. Snap peas did well and grew pretty tall to about 6’0 in height. Once the heat came they dried up pretty quick but at least we were able to harvest a fair amount of them. Onions grew quickly and plentifully. Easy.

The star of the show this year was the cherry tomatoes. As they stand now, the plants measure about 6’6 feet tall and have produced the most plentiful and flavorful tomatoes I have ever eaten. I’m glad we did as many plants as we did. We have had enough to share with all our family and neighbors. We are still only about halfway through the harvest and have enjoyed many salads with them.

Rosemary plants and other small herbs have done well also. Pumpkins were doing excellent as well until what I suspect was deer found them and ate the actual pumpkins and didn’t touch the leaves.
