So, Dave and I finally got the garden in this year. It's been such a blessing having the garden right behind the house. Four 4x8-foot boxes and two little corner boxes and we've managed to grow some seriously bountiful harvests. Of course, we always have our potted plants on the porch. But only 17 this year. I believe we had as many as 30 one year.
Dave gets to pick the potted ones every year (ones we're not getting a dozen of). This year, we have hot peppers— three medium hot block, three Hungarian wax (basically the same thing) and three jalapeno (hot again). Then there are four black cherry tomatoes (OK?) and four Cherokee Purple tomatoes (my interest is piqued).
