Beans are growing great

Moving is hell

My husband just got so tired of trying to fill the reservoirs with water that he decided to expand the space the garden is sitting in. He has added fabric to part of the existing fabric that is already out and he will add more in the morning. He then made more space between the containers and wider rows.

The tomatoes now have more space and that is great because they are getting a lot taller. We have a lot of green tomatoes. The purple Cherokee is in the running for the largest tomato to date and the Romas are in the quantity lead. My Juliet grape tomatoes think they are Romas and are growing way larger than a "cherry type" tomato.

In checking the squash, the zucchini are starting to grow and it looks like we will be eating them some time this week. I have not seen a Patty Pan yet, but hopes are still abounding for their succulent little bodies.

I have to order some more of the cage systems for the grow boxes as the eggplants, peppers, and cucumbers need support. I am going to add some additional caging to the tallest tomatoes to help keep the tomatoes growing as high as the sky.

When the beans are moved a little, I will put up the tepees for them to grow up. I am in love with my little great nephew, Landon, and I promised that little man that he could come and pick beans when they start growing. It is amazing when young parents want something from their prodigy. Landon is one of the most articulate, nicely mannered young men I have met in some time and he is not 2 1/2 yet.

It will be nice to share with Landon my love of fresh vegetables and the beauty of the garden. He loves fresh veggies and he will get to pick what he will eat.
