Garden Update


Well the Potato vines died... That was a cue to get those puppies out of the ground and this is what we got!


I thought i would pull up a few carrots and see how they were coming along, I don't normally have much luck growing them because i crowd them. But i am pleasantly suprised that we had a few nice sized. at least nice enough to go with the potatoes!


This is the cucumbers...

I put a tomatoe cage over them when they were small, then tied some twine above them on a pole that goes up to the roof down to the cages. and they just climbed right up them!

see all those blooms? how about those tiny cukes? I am so impressed this is the first time i have ever grown any cukes!

The red potatoes look good ,so do the carrots ,wish I could grow them here.
My garden is gone , I had quite a few yellow squash, a few tiny onions and some banans peppers.It just got too hot to keep it going.
Your cucumber plants look really healthy ,are you going to make pickles ?

These are very impressive especially with the potatoes and the carrots. I am also amazed with the cucumbers. They are really organized in one direction not like other that all the vines are going in all the directions in the garden.

Rose, that's is because i put a tomato cage around them and then i strung line from the cage to as high as i could reach on the pole behind them. i do not have a lot of room for them just to crawl all over so i tried to maximize my space
