The garden is growing well

I've harvested spinach, kale, beet greens, and a few strawberries.  The tomatoes are starting to get some fruit on them.  Here's a photo of one of the Grow Boxes showing the progress of things.  The last post of the same box was on May 15.

The square raised beds are doing well too.

I'm kinda disappointed in my radishes.  they are the huge plants in the middle and right middle.  The tops are really big but if when I pull one the radish is really small.  I won't buy that variety again.

My Kale, Swiss Chard, and strawberries are thriving!

The box below has cabbage and broccoli, and a tomato.  Also some red onions.

This square has peas, dill, basil, red onions, and a pepper.
As you can see in the above picture, I used tomato cages for the peas to attach to.  Seems to work.

One more grow box pic, for comparison to the last blog.

That should be enough for today.  The plants are doing so well that I want more.  I hope I get a huge tomato crop this fall.  I'm starting to see fruit on some of the plants.  It looks like the peppers are starting to fruit too.  I am interested in seeing how they do, because the last few years my peppers have always stayed small and puny.  Maybe this new method will change that.  Bye, everybody!
