Summer of Delicious

Even though the Grow Camp is over planted we've been eating loads of tomatoes, green beans, squash, peppers and now tomatillos from it. Everything tastes delicious!
Now we are getting into fall and need to decide how to trim everything back so we can drop the covers down.
Here is a picture post update before we start on that...
The porch tomatoes didn't do very well. The peppers did ok.


The one corn stalk had 3 ears of corn but all got attacked by worms, so we didn't get any of our own corn this year. We knew it was a long shot...


Tomatoes grew up, out and down. They are everywhere! 






















It definitely turned into a small jungle in there, but the strongest plants sure prevailed. We get about 20 huge green beens, about 50 cherry tomatoes and 10 - 12 big tomatoes every week. Plus all the herbs and the super squash. Having good light and excellent - deep soil in the Grow Camp has really made a big difference in the taste of our harvest. Next we get to find out how long into winter we can keep things growing and see what still produces in the cold Michigan winter. Should be interesting, we will keep this updated. :)
