Pictures Speak Louder Than Words

View from my garden.

At this point, there isn’t a whole lot to write about.  It was still rainy season so I didn’t even have to water my plants.  I just fertilized them every 10-14 days, gave them some pesticide when the bugs came around, and trimmed back the unwanted sprouts (this is one of those times when English escapes me).  

Growing like weeds.

Celery doing alright up top.

The eggplant REALLY started to take off.

Eggplant flowers and baby fruit.

The rain started to taper off, and the little guy in the planter that I thought wasn’t going to make it all the sudden started getting big on me.  He was a bit top heavy though.

This guy grew slower, but he was doing well.  As you may notice, my plants share a balcony with my drying clothes.

The garden.

Started bearing fruit and bending down.

I debated what I was going to do for a cage for my lonely tomato plant in the potter.  I found some bamboo and created a makeshift cage.  Not the best or effective use of materials, but hey, it works.

Caged up, fruit on board.

The eggplant was doing great.  The one I was going to hang still had a head start because of the small amount of rainwater that was allowed in the potter, but the other wasn’t far behind.

Notice the fruit! Almost time to enjoy!

I didn’t take many good pictures of the harvest, as I was too busy eating.  The hanging 5-gallon was producing like wild.  I was eating 3-4 tomatoes a day.  

Funny angle, but notice all of the fruit!

The 3-liter started producing too.  The fruit were typically smaller, which could have been due to them being different varieties, or just the fact that it didn’t have a whole lot of soil.

Time to eat!

At the peak of production, I estimated that I was getting around 1 lb. of fruit per 1-2 days.
