You don't need to have a lot of space to plant a garden. My Dad and Andi had fresh tomatoes all summer last year from a few plants in containers on their deck.
First harvest- kale, 4 types of lettuce and some herbs like dill and basil.
2nd Harvest: New Potatoes, cucumber, green beans, brocolli, sweet peas basil, dill, tomatoes. The lettuce is coming to an end. Some herbs are still going strong (sadly, cilantro is a cool weather friend like spinach and lettuce and it has already gone to seed).
Very surprisingly we got our first ripe tomato Saturday, June 5th and our dinner that night consisted of everything from our garden or that we caught: fish (caught by Papa and the boys), new potatoes, steamed beans, brocolli and onions, salad with cucumber, radishes, tomato, lettuce and herbs. We would have eaten sweet peas, but the boys ate them all while harvesting!
Salad with our first tomato!
Last year's Summer harvest:
We love tomatoes and make salsa or gazpacho every day in the summer. We plant 10+ different types of tomatoes.
Love the garden! We are always glad to see tomatoes!!
