A corner of my herb garden. I have been harvesting all summer and let it go a little wild and flower for the bees.
A couple of beds of snap beans. I have harvested three times and canned 36 pints so far. Tank and Molly wanted to snack on a couple!
A mixed bed of broccoli, celery, peppers, okra, eggplant and one tomatoe in the center.
My tomatoes happlily growing up strings. This was over a month ago, since then they are loaded with home grown goodness!

Diane your raised beds look really nice. Is it hard to get the tomatoes to go up the strings or do you tie them.

Linda,
I tie them and prune suckers off as I go. I will post a more recent photo...they are over 6 feet tall now and full of maters!

Lovely garden! So pretty and grouped nicely. Love your pooches, too. I look forward to seeing the close-up of the tomatoes! I have never seen that before.

Diane I look forward to seeing how they look now. I just harvested some tomatoes that are heirloom. I put some in my Vita mixer and it looked like orange juice because alot of them are yellow and orange. I added some of the red ones in the next batch cause I don't want to have orange spagetti sauce......lol.

I grow all heirlooms too! I have a couple of orange and yellow varieties that make interesting colored salsa and sauce! They taste great though. I will post photo soon, I am in the middle of canning corn and tomatoes.

Diane, your garden looks great!!! I too have raised beds and find it so much easier to keep under control as far as weeds/watering etc.
Sounds like you are harvesting lots and lots of goodies! Congratulations!
Hugs,

Diane, there is a lot growing in those beds there. They look great. I just planted carrots in my one raised bed.
