The new organic garden over at my in-law's house has matured quite well over the last few weeks. They are now able to harvest tomatoes and herbs everyday from the garden as needed.
A note from my previous post:
A few months back I wrote about Hurricane Irma passing through and tearing the place up along the way. We got very lucky compared to the islands in the Caribbean, but still had to deal with the inconvenience of widespread property damage. Over the past several months we have been discussing what we wanted to put in its place. Should we just put a hedge, rebuild the same type of tiered garden, something more simple? We decided on a more simple privacy/garden wall that would be easier to maintain, but still have an area to grow some basic food items. This is a traditional organic soil container garden, no hydroponics in this garden setup.
The yield on each plant is incredible. In my previous post about this garden I commented on the number of fruit and flowers coming in...
There are currently 51 tomatoes in various stages of ripening on the vines, as well as 130 newly pollinated buds/blossoms across the 4 pots.
Now we get to enjoy eating all 180+ tomatoes as they ripen fresh off the vines.
The herbs have filled in nicely as well. Fresh Parsley, Cilantro, Stevia, Basil and Dill are now available as needed.
The Strawberry plants are still young and provide a few here and there, but should give a good yield next season.
