How Does Your Galvanized Garden Grow?

We picked up some galvanized treasures this weekend at an auction, so I'm contemplating what to grow in them next year.  I think I'd like to expand the tomatoes to include a few varieties, and maybe try lettuce or spinach.  I haven't done bell peppers for a few years, so maybe a red and a green pepper too.  In the meantime, we're enjoying our first two cucumbers with our dinner tonight, and have had two edible tomatoes!  That may be a record for me in the tomato department. ;)

What's Growin' in the Garden

 The cucumbers are doing well.  I harvested our first cucumber tonight!
 I've picked one tomato and there are few more ripening.
 The drought seems to be over, and everything (except the grass) is still nice and green.
 Here's our little tomato!  I love this lantana.  It does great in the heat of summer.
 This is my favorite combination for the front.  A red impatien, a white one, and a Caladium.  This one grew from bulbs that I saved from last year.  I'm hoping to preserve them again.
