Patio Farmer

This summer Andy is farming on the back deck instead of in the garden. Since he's watching Caleb on his days off, they are growing veggies in pots and towers on the deck.

Here's the tomato tower. There's 4 tomato plants and 1 green pepper plant hanging on the underside. On top you'll find two rows of crisp lettuce and 9 plants of green beans. Also tucked in there on top is a lone strawberry plant!



Then in the corner of the deck, there's a pot with a couple cucumber plants and a another couple green beans. The idea is that the cucumbers will climb the deck rails and produce giant cucumbers for some delicious salads! You'll also notice a lone green pepper plant hanging out in the hanging basket. In a few weeks you should notice a nice surprise growing around the green pepper plant. But that'll be for another post....


Look for more updates throughout the summer on the back deck garden....
