   Ha..  Didnt notice that..  Good Idea..

Learned the hard way last year when I tightened them too much. Again...

I used to be way more aggressive with pruning. Now I just pinch off the little suckers that sprout at the base of the main leaf stems.
Anyway....here's where I am at this point.
Potatoes are crazy.



The cukes and tomatoes in the bags are doing just fine. And the garlic is about 2-3 weeks from harvest

Herb garden is coming along.


More tomatoes, hot peppers& broccoli

Fenced in the asparagus today. Getting out of control.

Trough Planter is sprouting a second crop of radishes

More tomatoes and a slicer cuke at the back of the house.

Mama's gardens are fat and happy.






So far..a really good growing year.

My problem is that if too loose and a good storm hits they flop over.

We got a good one this morning and they held up okay. But I was worried if they were too tight the plant would snap at the zip tie

Looking good as always!

And it looks like some of your zip ties are a little tight.....
 I like to use bailer twine tied loose....

Pieces of pantyhose works good too. No cutting into the plant.

Looking good guys.   I'm going to try the bags next season to expand the crop. My micro garden is small compared to you folks but its off to a good start as well. I have one tomato plant that grew up as a seed from last season  in the rocks and I'm going to transplant it. Don't know what it is  yet, "mystery tomato."

Also, the clematis finally bloomed.

 Marker ribbon works good

Looking good everybody definitely a good growing season so far, besides the groundhog got my carrots latest pic from the roof

That’s a sharp looking garden!

Rg do you provide drainage holes in the bottom of the bags like they do in buckets?

Sure is!

Actually those are potato bags. There's a trap door on the side where you supposedly can remove some potatoes while tha plant is still growing. There's drain holes in the bottom. Didn't produce potatoes well but the tomatoes and cukes seem to like them just fine. Got them really cheap on eBay. They'll hold about 7 gallons of soil. I didn't fill them that much...maybe 4 gallons.

Anyway, 2 or 5 gallon buckets would work just as well. A couple years back I planted a bunch of excess pickle starts in some 1 gallon buckets I picked up at the local recycling plant for $.10 each and they did very well. Watering is kind of fussy though. Easy to over or under water a container I think.

Garden looks great Bart. Lowjack...the ONLY thing I don't see in your gardens is a bee house. Very nice!
