Our Garden: Summer 2016

This was our garden back in April... 
 freshly planted tomato plants

front row of baby pepper plants, then a column of cabbage, swiss chard, kale, and radicchio

And this is our current garden... lots of growth since April!  
 these are our tomato plants (also pictured is my #1 tomato thief)

caught...  red-mouthed??

 these are my pole beans (left) and baby cucumbers (right), both are growing up a trellis on the back side of the tomatoes.
This is my other bed.  The front row of peppers and a back row of okra. 

 In the middle you can see my eggplant and swiss chard. 

Overall this year, we have had a lot of success with our tomatoes (Sweet 100 and Juliet and Husky Cherry Red) as well as with our swiss chard.  I'm hoping we'll begin harvesting some cukes in a week or two.  A few of my plants have suffered from not having enough fertilizer or organic matter in the soil.  I tried to remedy that mid-season by adding some of our compost, but I need to do a better job of adding it in before planting next year.  (I also had some zucchini planted earlier in the season, but a vine borer got them before I realized it.)

tomato thief caught again...
