Very nice!

I've been thinking of building risers or something like that for my peppers, how has that setup worked for you?

dpurdy · April 30, 2012

Looks like you have everything well organized and under control. Your plants look very healthy and I like how their all easily accessible, with nice walkways. Great Job!

Hi Damon. Looks like you've done a great job maximizing your garden space. What are the two best tomato varieties production-wise that you grow in your 5 gallon buckets?

sprtsguy76 · May 1, 2012

Mark- These risers are in the same location as they were last year and they worked very well for peppers. That fence they are against is dead west so getting them squeezed in and up a little bit was important.

dust-This is only my second year growing several varieties in 5 gallon buckets so I really dont have alot to go on. But the bgigest crop last year in a 5er was a F1 cross between Brandywine Sudduth and Japanese Black Trifele and it was good too.

Thanks for the nice comments everyone I worked really hard to get this garden together this year. The endless work that went into making everything on automated watering was worth it.

Everything is so neat and tidy- love the idea of automated watering for raised beds. Hope all that hard work pays off this year in perfect produce and extra time to do other things you love.

Really a very impressive garden, Damon. Looks like you put a lot of effort
into it. Your plants look very healthy-I'm sure you'll have a great harvest
this year. Thanks for posting photos-great inspiration! Darlene

Very impressive garden indeed! It looks like you put a lot of work into the set-up of your garden. Now, you can sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor.

looks really great Damon! Wondering now if I should put the cukes in SWC also. I have not gotten my watering system down pat yet, so I may be out around the yard running around with hoses for all I know

Antoniette- I did alot of that running around with the hose last year and in years past, lol, but with 2 kids now......impossible lol.
