We have a few new items in our garden this year...one of which is garlic. We planted a bunch of these and it appears as though we've had some success. We'll find out just how much success we have had when we pick them on the longest day of the year (December 22 I believe). We also have 
some zucchini and squash in some of those pots. Already we have had more success with regards to spinach than we did last year. We have given the plants a bit more room and have eaten bunches of spinach and lettuce already. It's been nice to have both again this year. In the bottom right hand corner of one photo you can also see our attempt at watermelon...we'll keep you posted if those work.

Tomatoes and beans were pretty good for us last year and look to be doing well again this year. We have both roma and cherry tomatoes growing at the moment. We have also had some unexpected friends that seem to REALLY like our tomatoes. We think that some pumpkin seeds that were in our compost that we are using may be sprouting with our tomatoes...they seem to like each other so we'l
l let them stay together for now. Also, the beans that you see are from last year's crop. We dried them all out, stored them in paper bags and then replanted them again this year. It seems to be a good bath because every single seed that I planted has come up. Not bad!

Finally, our potatoes. We have three bags of potatoes at the moment that are growing as well as a big pot. We have been growing potatoes all year and enjoy them. They don't yield a ton, but each pot/bag will normally get us about 4-5 meals. We are hoping to have all of these four ready to be dug up and used for Christmas this year. That's the goal anyway.
Well, we hope you like the garden update. Check back again later to see how things progress!!

It is quite obvious that either I have taught you too much or you're not telling me about a new grow juice.
