The porch garden is doing fine. The marigolds continue to put on a good show. The strawberries have grown to fill their containers and now are blooming. We’re thinking of relocating them to one of the Earthboxes. The potatoes have gotten pestered by some sort of bug and possibly some other leaf problem. I think it’s something from the tomatoes last year. They all stopped growing taller, pretty much. Although this has been interesting I want to try something built better than cardboard boxes the next time. We let the kale go to seed and now the plants are covered with seed pods. The pods weighed down the plant so much that I looped a piece of twine around them and the potato-cage to hold them up.
Our squash plants have been growing. I think they’re the yellow squash that came up. I didn’t label the pots so I’m not sure which was the zucchini and which was the yellow squash but the plants look more like the yellow squash.
We’ve been figuring out how to fit more containers in the space. If we turn the containers we should be able to fit a couple more at least. We’ve also talked about growing tomatoes upside down hanging from the porch above. Later this year we’ll figure out what we’re going to do when we clean things out for the Fall/Winter.
