A Great Year for Gardening – Update

Remember back in May when I started my garden for the year?
When I changed everything, and planted my entire garden in tires?

Remember when it looked like this?

I never imagined that things would turn out as well as they have.

This is what it looks like now!

It’s crazy how much everything has grown. It’s almost out of control.
I’d like to think it’s because of all the hard work I put into it. Or it’s because of the added heat from the tires. Or it could even be because we’ve have had an unusually warm summer.
I’m sure though, it’s a combination of all of these things.

I almost can’t even believe it.

We’ve had an overabundance of fresh, organic veggies all summer.
It’s been wonderful. Everything is growing faster than we can eat it.
I’m giving things away to everyone!

We’ve eaten so many tomatoes, cucumbers, and green peppers that we’ll be stocked full of vitamins all winter long.

 

We even have a couple cantaloupes growing.

And, this is the first year I have every gotten a watermelon to grow. I’ve planted them many times, but they’ve never grown.

If you’re in the area… hit me up! We have lots to share 🙂
