I am enjoying the fruits of my labor, so to speak. My garden has done pretty well considering it has all been grown in 2 flower beds. The soil is not deep but I ammended the potting soil with horse manure and sawdust and most of what I planted seems to like it. My broccoli was a disappointment as only one plant lived and it is just now starting to make a few little "heads" in the forks of the branches. Our rabbit is enjoying the leaves I pick for her from it. My carrots did okay. I didn't expect them to get to any size because of the shallow soil but I was hoping for more plants. The rabbit is enjoying those too. My squash is doing great. (I need a good, easy recipe for squash casserole) My peppers are doing good but haven't taken on their colors yet. The yellow ones are starting to turn but the red ones are still dark green. My lettuce has done very well but is going to seed now so I have been feeding it to the rabbit also. I planted 55 onion sets a few weeks ago and they are coming up nicely. I have 4 stalks of volunteer corn that will give me 9 ears of corn. Looking forward to that. My potatoes in the tires rotted. One did make about 5 little potatoes that would all fit in one of my small hands. But my tomatoes are the star of my garden. I have a number of different heirlooms and they are bearing like crazy. I give them away and we eat all we want. I am very happy with them. Will be putting garlic in the tomato bed when they are done. The 2 muskmelon vines were put in late and they have a couple of melons on them. We will have to see what they will do.
