Our garden's winding down, or burning up, but our first garden here was a huge success. We've already canned 48 quarts of tomatoes, and gauging by the dining room table, we have 12-18 more to go before we're done.
We planted Yukon Gold potatoes, and they did very well before it got hot. One 8X8 raised bed produced around 20-25 pounds. When they were almost ready, I planted refrigerator watermelons on top of them. Right now we have around 10 that are almost ripe.
The last of the carrots and onions were pulled today, and picking the tomatoes is a daily task. Soon, our okra will be also.
We'll double the number of raised beds next spring, and will drip irrigate the whole mess thanks to my West TX neighbor.
