Not sure if it was the lack of water when our well was being repaired, the extremes of temperatures, or neglect - but everything quit producing blossoms. Tomatoes are ripening now - but looks like they will be the only ones I get this year. <br />Love the photos - and the giant beets!Susan https://www.blogger.com/profile/15294204009310379754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3476608325432503181.post-14955347138975471402015-08-10T17:31:32.729-07:002015-08-10T17:31:32.729-07:00I love that rally the minions!

I planted 2 tomato plants (ok hubby only planted 2 tomato plants) this summer. The heat was just to much so I don't feel bad because all of our neighbors gardens sucked so at least we didn't waste the money! I love that photo of the garden that's what I want container gardens like that. I'm thinking of using those aluminum cattle watering tubs (we used to swim in them as kids). I'd like to have about 4 of them. The dirt here is really sandy and I don't think good for growing much besides peaches and I can't stand them. By next garden season I will be back home in KY in real dirt! I'm finally letting that cat out of the bag!Renahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12296781992150172086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3476608325432503181.post-15635159055981598832015-08-10T02:57:31.808-07:002015-08-10T02:57:31.808-07:00Those beets are huge!!

It was growing on a trellis over a driveway and was just bursting with kiwis. This year the vine is still there but NO kiwis. Any idea why? The rest of the garden is flourishing. My brother is very proud of his garden up the coast. When they lived in Calgary his wife was the self-appointed gardner however he has now taken it on. She told me the other day that it is out of control. 40 tomato plants, 8 different kinds of squash and endless beans. for the two of them. They could feed the town. We're heading up next week so I'll be able to see it first hand... Should be interesting.
