Awesome, you came back!! Thanks for visiting!
Remember the planter boxes my oh so accommodating husband built for me? These guys?
And that this is what they looked like when I planted them?
Wanna guess what they look like now? No, really. Think about it.
This is Arizona, it’s hot. And as much as I hate to admit it, gardening is a never-ending ‘craft’. You can’t just plant it and forget about it, like you can with most of the crafts I do. I’m not so great at ongoing projects.
Which is why I’m quite tickled (and slightly overwhelmed) that they now look like this:
April 23rd, Box 1
Notice how they’re still pretty much within their beds and you can sort of see all the individual plants.
April 23rd, Box 2
Yeah.
Not anymore.

It’s a jungle.
Which is awesome, but Holey Moley.
How am I ever going to tame this thing?
I’m really hoping that we’ll get some veggies off of it before the heat makes them go dormant.
Also thinking about putting some kind of shade over it.
I learned awhile back that if the night temps don’t get low enough, it doesn’t matter what I do, the tomatoes will stop fruiting, so hurry hurry little tomatoes.
Heirloom Brandywine Tomatoes
Sweet 100 Cherry Tomatoes
Roma Tomatoes, possibly. Hard to tell in there.
Jalapeño
Crookneck Squash
Green Bush Beans
The cucumbers and honeydew are coming along nicely.
We picked some radishes the other night. I think they were crowded.
And there’s lot of herbs too. Cilantro, Dill, Lemon Thyme, Spearmint, Stevia, Chocolate Basil, Chocolate Mint (I can never seem to pass up all the chocolate ones).
There’s carrots buried in there too.
Maybe next year, I wont pack in so many tomatoes. 
How does your garden grow this year?
