Garden update - end of August

This is a picture of my garden from the East. You can see the shade from surrounding trees lapping at the edges of the garden.


Amazing tomatoes. This is a picture from the North end where I planted Juliet tomatoes.


Juliet is an All-American Selection Winner and seems to be resistant to diseases. They started producing in mid-July and look like they'll continue into early October. I'll be growing them again next year.

Mixing peppers and cucumbers. I ran out of trellis space for the second planting of cucumbers. So I planted them next the to peppers.


Who would have thought the peppers would reach to 4 feet. I was hoping the inter-planting would confuse the cucumber beetles. The second planting of  cucumbers that were planted by themselves are already wilting.

Fall peas. The "fall" peas really spend most of their time growing in the hot summer sun, and don't look so good (brown leaves at the base of the plants, not growing as tall as the spring peas). I'm expecting a harvest about the middle of October.
