Progress of Garden

Hello,

I have not posted for a little while. We have had graduation for my oldest son from highschool as well as the homeschool convention here in Virginia. Of course the garden has been going strong with picking, canning, maintaining, as well as eating. No ripe tomatoes yet, but I have some plants over 7 feet tall and loaded with tomatoes. The compose tea seem to be going strong and the garden is looking good. All of the people who have been using the tea can't believe the difference. Another gardener friend of mine has been using the tea on certain plants and the plants he has used the tea on, he is guessing are over 7 feet also. Here are a few pictures to show you the progress. My tomato stake go up about 12 feet and my friend goes up 14 feet. The wheelbarrow is loaded with beets and the squash is growing like crazy. I am trying to be patient on my first fresh tomato sandwich of the year. If you look at the last post you see how much the tomatoes have grown.

Here is a quick update on the garden. We have been picking a lot of lettuce. Our lettuce was put in an earth box we made, so as the temperatures are warmer, I just moved it into the shadier part of the yard. Hopefully it will stretch through the season. I have zucchini starting to come in, along with broccoli, beets, and some carrots. The strawberries have been doing well and are starting to slow down. The tomato plants are really taking off. The beans and potatoes are blossoming. Here is a little video and some pictures of my attempt to get a 15 foot tall tomato plant. Just look how big the leaves are. On Thursday I will have an article about bermuda grass.
