Default Ted's 2014 garden!

I overcame a semi terminal case of laziness this morning and took some photo's of my garden. I believe you can tell by looking at the photos, I don't like to waste space. If I can see dirt, I plant something in it.

This year, I am growing thirty varieties of tomatoes, twelve varieties of peppers, three varieties of onions, four varieties of cucumbers, three varieties of carrots, four varieties of lettuce, two varieties of summer squash, spinach, beets, various herbs, and a few flowers.

Yep, you are right - no unused dirt visible!

Looks great.

Raybo,

I always plant heavily but this year is somehow different. Everything is taller and fuller foliated than most years. I believe the multiple hard freezes eliminated many pests I normally have. We also went from a freeze one weekend to the low eighties the following weekend. It seemed the early warm weather jump started everything growing. Even with the rapid growth, ripe tomatoes are about two weeks later than usual. I usually have ripe. early tomatoes in mid May. I still haven't seen a red ripe tomato and it's almost June.

My onion tops have already fallen over meaning they are ready to harvest and store, but they are significantly smaller than last year.

Ted

Wait a minute......I see plenty of dirt to plant in. Those pathways, surely they aren't needed. I mean who needs a place to walk?????

Beautiful! I like your approach and I hope to apply it to my own garden, which other than my containers and row of tomatoes is nothing but grass. The desolation irks me.
