Well things are really coming along in the garden. My first corn is tasseling, I am going to have a bumper crop of tomatoes, and even my peppers are doing well. Next year, my husband has accepted my challenge to a duel! We are going to divide the garden in half and measure by the pound which yields better results, conventional row methods of tomatoes or square foot method. He says he's going to kick my butt. :)

I don't see how I can lose, since I still get all the tomatoes and have half the work. But anyway. Duel!

I will have to remember your technique next time I need something done around here. ;)

The harvest is underway! I planted 4 pepper plants. I normally get 1-2 peppers at best. Can you believe this crop?!

The tomatoes I just picked aren't even 5% of what I planted. I had to pick a few greener because the birds wanted some of the harvest! I don't mind as there is PLENTY more still ripening. This batch is going to be canned jalapenos, canned chillies and salsa!

You've done great this year! It's going to looks so nice and pretty when it's canned.

My jalapenos did good this year too in containers. I think I will try planting them in the ground next year.
