Garden Goodness

I think we've found the right part of the yard to build a garden.  The muscadine vines are doing great this year, and we're starting to see some fruit form.  But the veggies are taking off like I haven't seen since we lived in SC!  The proof is in the pictures.

The whole thing.  Vines are doing great, and veg is exploding!

We've already got one green tomato as big as my hand!

More growing toms

The squash has completely taken over this basil and the peppers.  Last year they didn't grow at all.

Jalepeno plant is 4' tall already and has one pepper ready to pick.  Fresh Japs FTW!

I've got a few Habanero peppers growing too.  I'm really hoping for a good Hab crop. I've never tried growing those before.

So many squash flowers, soon we should see some fruits forming.

tiny little grapes.  These will be full grown muscadines if I give the vines the 2 gallons of water a day that they need.

I'm already planning for next year.  We need to make this bed wider and raised, and make it as long as the muscadines vine trellis.  I need to segment it more too, the squash and zucchini have taken over the entire space.  The soil amendments we added this year worked great, so we'll keep adding compost to it over the winter too.  It gets enough sunlight and rainfall to be a great location for a garden though, so that's quite a relief.  We're going to end up with a great crop this year.
