Garden is doing well, it's been hot, smoke season is upon us.

That's all

I'm having mixed results with my garden. Nearly all my garden is in containers on asphalt in full sun.  I have one bunch of tomatoes doing splendidly, but other ones, are not really growing or producing.  I got good lettuce hauls in the Spring. I thought I had bought a cucumber and a yellow squash but it turned out to be cucumber, so I have a lot of that.   I have some good-looking parsnips that I can harvest after we get some chilly weather.  Potatoes are in root bags...they don't seem to have gotten very big.  Not sure if it's the bags, or the soil or the heat. Green beans are not really growing very fast. Still only 3 inches tall.  Not climbing. 
Onions failed. My 30-foot plum tree has been dropping branches and I'm struggling to prune them. The highest ones are beyond me.  I always wonder how worthwhile a garden really is.

You and GP with potatoes in bags? I've never heard of that.  Potatoes grow best is loose soil and as they grow you add soil to the top.
I've only grown red taters and they did pretty good without adding soil.

You make do with the space you got, containers are just one more way of maximizing trying to grow stuff and I didn't say growing spuds in a container was a good idea, it was an experiment that did not pay off. Of course, having said that, they do actually sell potato grow bags.
 My comment had zero to do with you planting in containers. I literally didn't have a clue what was meant by growing potatoes in "bags"  I thought it was something new. Like a few cut potatoes in a small bag or something Big Grin
So Now I know you meant LOL
