Small Veg Garden
After a year of garden slacking, we're trying to grow veggies again.
The upper row from left to right, is San Marzano tomatos, Walla Walla onions, and Tokyo Long White onions. The lower row from left to right is all tomatos, Brandywine, Cherokee Chocolate, Japanese Oxheart, and Hawaiian Currant (cherry). Hot peppers and snap peas have yet to be planted. A local university has an outstanding arboretum that does an annual plant sale so you get HQ, exotic plants. I needed to put them in the ground as they were getting root bound with the heat causing speedy growth.
They still need to be supported but my work and weekend schedules don't let that happen until the second week of April.

Re: Small Veg Garden
Looks like support isn't a huge issue just yet, can wait until you have time.

Re: Small Veg Garden
You're right, they have held up fine, even with some winds. The method I will use is from a diy, real simple. Two stakes at both ends of a row with twine running every 10-12" high or so. The twine runs on alternating sides of the plant.

Have you had a harvest yet?
My Dad is getting squash out of his garden now. Most of the other stuff is still too early.

Re: Small Veg Garden
We're finally getting tomatoes now. Onezies and twozies. Battling a calcium deficiency which has ruined many of the San Marzanos.

Re: Small Veg Garden
Looks like you have some dry soil but those wood chips probably help that out.
More pics would be awesome.
