Garden's Gaining Steam

This year I really have not put much energy into my garden.  I've put in seeds and plants, offered up a hope and a prayer and just hope to end up with produce.  I started the season with great energy as I planned and prepared my early bed.  Our tomatoes were even more of an experiment as I planed two under the cover of my early bed and HandyMan had two in the wall-of-water type protectors.  Both are doing great - although the two in the water walls needed stakes right away after the walls were removed.  I am totally thrilled with the progress on these tomatoes - we have blossoms already  I'm hoping to have tomatoes to pick before August this year!



In order to stagger my tomato crops, I planted the rest of my tomatoes a week and a half ago.  They look so tiny!



My hills of squash are looking well and we should have strawberries ready within the week!



My early green beans are thriving too:

So far so good!  The rain we've been getting regularly is helping too!  How is your garden doing?

  1. Missing my garden, hoping that Pat takes pictureas and sends them to me so I I can see how the garden grows. I will have to try covers next year with tomatoes.
