Our Little Garden

I have tried to grow tomatoes before, but never very successfully.  I hadn't branched out to any other edible thing other than herbs until this year.

 Our cucumber plant has done so much better than I ever expected.  We've had about half a dozen 8 inch cucumbers from it.  Our poor tomato plant is buried there under the cucumber, so although it gets taller, I don't think we'll see any more tomatoes from it.  We had three little red ones, so we'll just have to be happy with that for this year.
 No peppers at all.  Next year I plan to put two cucumber plants in this next year and plant tomatoes in two galvanized tubs closer to the fence.  Even with our hot dry summer, I'm pleased with our little garden!
