Garden News
























This is the most recent photo of the tomato row. Those poles are about 6' high and yes the plants are doubledover. Now if the tomatoes would only ripen. We saw 2 that have started. Can't wait!






Here are the photos of our 'harvest' : We picked purple beans (they turn green when cooked) squash & zuccini, green sweet peppers, lettuce and parselry-oregano-basil to dry .yesterday. We had the beans & peppers for supper! Jeff dug up the first row of potatoes, too. The plants had died back, seed pods were formed and he was told it was time to dig them up. I think we were both disappointed. Out of the 6 or 8 plants we got 12 potatoes: 1 really big one, 4 good size and the rest small. Better luck next year, huh? We've still got 2 other rows of white potatoes and 1 row of sweet potatoes that are still thriving. Hope we do better with them.
