How Does My Garden Grow?
Rapidly, I'd say.
It's amazing, this being my very first veggie garden and all, how well all the plants have done and the amount of fruit they continue to bear (I just sent more cucumbers and squash with Ron to share at work). Next year my garden will be a bit more organized. I hope to be in a studio and won't have the flexibility of stepping out to do garden chores at any given time in the day.
I have added two new sections to the existing beds. Next Spring I will enclose them with garden fencing in order to keep the dogs from exploring too much or stealing my tomatoes. The fence will go from the privacy fence out and wrap around the front beds, with a gate at the front. I will mulch or pave a path in between the beds (where the pots are now) leading to the compost bin behind them. The rest of the space I will fill with potted veggies and herbs.
Here's the veggie garden at the back of the house (not raised).

Now:
In a week or two I will begin planting Fall crops.

You Say Tomato, I Say...
HOLY CRAP, we have a LOT of them!!!
I have delivered bags of fresh veggies from our garden the neighbors next door, the ones behind us (I just hang bags over the fence for them to find) and the family across the street. I have sent bags of tomatoes and cucumbers with Ron to share with his co-workers. I have sent family and friends home with care packages from our garden.
The tomatoes are still coming!
I'm not complaining. Yesterday I brought out the slow cooker and stewed a whole bunch. I bagged and froze a few bags for later use.

The Garden So Far
I have to say that the pickings from my (mostly grown from seed) veggie garden have surpassed my expectations, especially this being my first ever attempt at growing anything edible beyond a patio tomato. It has been mostly trial and error, and I did over-crowd the beds a bit, but I've not lost much in the process. Not even to bugs or critters, which I feared I might, choosing the organic route.
The pictures below are what I have been harvesting, on average, about every two to three days.
The third photo was taken this afternoon.
