June 26

Did a few things this weekend. Pulled up all the tomatoes. Where the Atkinson tomatoes were I planted bush beans. I want to see if they can grow in the summer heat. May have to put shade cloth over them.

Not much to look at yet

Pulled up the peppers and put shade cloth over the bed. I went to Home Depot and bought 3 green bell plants and a cucmber which had 3 growing in it. I am using the small Texas Tomato Cages for the bell peppers. Maybe this time the branches won't break when full of peppers.



I used scissors to split up the 3 cucumbers in the pot and planted them in the double stacked block bed where tomatoes were. Once they start growing I will put up the trellis.

  1. I too am doing a raised bed, cinder block 4 x 16. Mine is based off of www.gardeningrevolution.com. Cotton Burr Compost, Rice Hulls, and Peat Moss.
