Garden Update 1



  Things are coming along well. Production isn't at its peak yet, but we are starting to get stuff that looks like vegetables. The only real problem I am having at the moment is keeping enough water in the buckets for all the succulent plants. After a particularly sunny day at 90 plus degrees, most of the plants are very wilted and drooping. It takes a gallon or more for each bucket to bring the plants back.
  The tomato plants have really grown and are full of green tomatoes of all shapes and sizes. I noticed tonight the grape tomatoes are starting to ripen. We pulled all but 2 or 3 of the first radish planting and the second planting is coming right along. In another week or so some of the bigger tomatoes should be big enough to make fried green tomatoes. I can't wait. :-)
