Garden wrap-up

Our 2005 garden has mostly come to a close. I took out our Thai tomatoes today. We didn’t get nearly as many this year – the plants got some disease or something and didn’t perform well. The only thing left now is some Swiss Chard – good producer – and the basil which has done very well. Lots of basil in a few varieties. Next year, assuming we’re still here, I’m going to try to do the containers a bit different. I want to build up some good soil in them and do away with the mulch covers in favor of standard mulch. I plan to read more about containers as well. There’s not much I can do about the light but I can try to make the Earthboxes more effective for organic gardening.
