What's in your garden?

Last year was better. We gave SO many tomatoes away. We gave sacks to UPS drivers, the Post Office and all our neighbors and whoever else we could think of. LOL I still have frozen tomatoes from last year.
Next year I think I'll start the green beans inside. We planted twice. Not sure what the problem is. Green beans usually over produce. Of course we haven't grown them in a long time.

It's still a little early to have tons of tomatoes isn't it? Maybe you'll have still a lot by the end of the month?

Green beans aren't getting a lot of the late afternoon sun. The trees have grown a bit. Damn trees.....jkg. Next year I think we'll try a green bean teepee and get it out in FULL sun.
You're right about the tomatoes, but I think we had an earlier planting season last year. And I believe I may have been a little more generous with the fertilizer. The plants were really huge. Really, we had too many tomatoes. I can't believe I just said that, but it's true.

Yeah I normally have too many tomatoes every single year. They are cheap, easy to grow and it's fun to plant several varieties.
And if you have good soil ( Valuesize) you shouldn't need any fertilizer whatsoever.
But if not by all means use fertilizer recommended by the tomato guy

Nothing better than a homegrown tomato! Well.....maybe, but you know what I mean. We have crappy soil but do have a good compost pile. I just can't resist throwing some extra nutrition their way.
BTW....I love your weed garden.

I have crappy soil too. I'm in the Agate desert and the top soil is very shallow. So yes I have to throw some extra nutrition their way also.
Last year I bought a couple truck loads of potting soil from the old Modoc orchards. They were composting peaches from Sobroso.
But I've had just as good or even better luck just buying composed horse manure.
Except for one time when I bought some that was mixed with saw dust. That stuff sucked.
