2018 Still holding together!

First, the porch. All tomatoes, 7 money makers and 3 beefsteak.






The good ole Grow Camp, it has seen better days. 



 I put a banding strap around the bottom as the seems were really starting to split due to erosion/expansion. 

The felcro is pretty dried out and cracking.

The two end pieces were replaced with screen. I had a vandal cut up one side to steal the sprinkler system and a bunch of dirt oddly enough. Turns out it was a kid that lives behind me and he was super high on something one night and decided he was going to start his own pot farm... by stealing all my gardening stuff - he took a lot of stuff, got into the shed too. His folks were nice enough and I got most of the things back.


This year I have cucumbers (bottom) green beans (top right) and a bunch of carrots (top left) which I've never been successful with in the Grow Camp but this is brand new seeds.

Eventually something major is going to give out on this but I got over 8 years of use out of this system, with all the weather you could throw at it and it's still working. That's pretty impressive.

Wiener dog is always happy to help out...

...especially getting a fresh green bean out of the deal.


This is the only water timer I've ever had. I've taken it apart and lubed up all the gears and ball valve once or twice. Keeps on rockin.
