We started this garden in 2010 and could not believe the harvest!!! We expanded in 2011 and now we are exhausted because the harvest was so much more. We are completely organic and feel that this is so helpful for our family. GMO foods are causing us (our family) many allergy problems and we are trying to get away from them completely. We harvest, freeze, can and dehydrate all our produce. So far we have done well and are continuing to try to have our produce last all year till the next harvest.

Hard to believe how much lettuce this garden has put out... We are still getting salads, but most of the lettuce is bolting and flowering. We will see if we can collect some seeds. We will start planting for a new crop and see if we can keep it going. |

We have a second round of lettuce coming up in one of the barrels I planted. We got a few salads out of the first batch, before the insane heat wave struck, and despite our watering efforts, fried it to a crisp. lol. |

| New tomato hanger getting ready for plants! Jul 07, 2012 | |

John and Sam have been working on the new tomato plant hanger pole... out in the 100+ degree sun, working hard. I sure hope they survive. John really wants to get the tomatoes up today, and at this rate he will succeed! He cemented the pole in yesterday, or maybe the day before... but it sure looks good. It will be nice... ...see more |

The hot weather, gardening, weeding and running the kids around has really taken its toll on getting on the show to comment. I will be going to an early morning rodeo to watch Morissa's good friend compete.. Then I am coming home to get on the garden show and catch up. I am sure everyone else's gardens are booming with growth,... ...see more |

Rodeo sounds fun ... hope you can enjoy it in the heat. |

We are really watching both of our bean poles closely. They each have a different bean planted on them, and we are trying to see if one grows better here, or not. Currently the beans are racing to th... more » |
