Your tomatoes look so wonderful compared to mine. I’ve read about pruning off the sucker shoots to help the plants produce, did you do anything like that?

I enjoy hearing from and about you, your family and garden. You seem to be blessed with a green thumb, which I wasn’t. Just as well as allergies has kept me from working in a garden or yard. But now I am 77+ and a widow and enjoy reading a lot.
As a transplanted Oklahoman (to Texas) I get to see my younger son and his family and celebrate birthdays, etc.There’s a Great Grand baby due in May.
He or she will join 2 others, one of them live in Austin, 22 months old and the other lives in California, soon will be 3 months old. They are grandchildren of my older son and his wife.
God has blessed us that both of the Sons are Christians as are their wives. The 4 grandchildren , 2 boys and 2 girls and their spouses are also.
My husband died little over a year after we moved here. We had sold our Dairy farm a few years earlier.
God bless you. Reba K Stanfield
The pictures of your Boys are cute!!

The credit card company slogan goes perfectly here…
the results are indeed priceless! Thanks for this post because for some reason I didn’t realize that it was built right on top of a patio. I thought this was in the ground (more than 6in) so now, I am even more encourages and impressed. We have a smaller garder growing in pots on our balcony. Condo downtown in Cincinnati. I learned more about the dirt combo too.
Thanks again and have a great day!

This is also my first year with the SFG method. We built four 2×6 foot boxes along the sides of our chain link fence. Tomatoes, beans, cucumbers and snow peas climb the fence for support and offer a little privacy. I checked with my neighbors before doing this and they had no problem with it since they know they’ll be given some of the overabundance of veggies. It has worked out great for us and we are going to expand it next year.

On the watering end of things, using your “grey water” — water that’s been used once for something non-toxic like washing dishes — is a great way to conserve/recycle/reuse. My grandmother and mother always washed supper dishes in a plastic basin set in the sink, then carried the water out to the garden. That way the garden got some water every day, and was never forgotten. I’m carrying on the tradition with my balcony garden. (Use biodegradable dish soap for best results.)

PS: I used coconut coir in lieu of peat moss for my box garden — peat moss is a non-renewable resource so I thought I’d try the alternative. Any thoughts on whether it works as well as peat?

WOW! I’m astonished at how much you’ve squeezed into such a small space, and how high your plants have grown in such a shallow garden. I love the great info, thank you! This year marks my first attempt as a Bumbling Gardener and I’m having a ball, learning lots, and eating lots of great, fresh veggies. I am tending a backyard garden at a friend’s place and have just gotten a plot in my local community garden, too. Check out pics at http://www.localdelicious.com.

Keep the great info coming!

Short term solution: Google how to hand polinate_____ (insert the name of plant). Youwill find specific instructions for hand polinating that plant.

Long term solution: Buy Mason Bees. They are not as agressive as honey bees, but they also don’t make honey.
