Spring/ Summer Garden
23 Sep 2008
I tried to "over summer" my spring tomatoes by keeping a shade cloth over them. Most of the summer it is too hot for the blooms to go to fruit. I know it is cooling down and time to cut back the plants when the tomatoes fruit and ripen before they are even the size of a thumbnail.
Hopefully, we will have fall tomatoes too!

You c an see part of the shade cloth structure I use for summer crops. The sweet potato vine loves the sun and crawls out to find it.

2008 Fall Garden

Planted 16 September 2008
Pumpkin, armenian cucumber, Pole Beans, Peas (Sugar Daddy), spinach, green onion, cucumbers, Beets (Detroit Red), zucchini, Peas (wando).

The raised bed seems to be helping to keep the burmuda grass at bay. The spring garden has done really well under the shade cloth all summer.
