Like everyone else, I've been busy in the garden. After my initial tomato woes, things got much better. I've attached pictures showing an overview of my garden. Some tomatoes are doing better than others, and my zucchini (raised in planters are LOUSY).

I used bamboo to stake my tomato plants. We cut it ourselves, drilled through the lowest separating membrane and put a piece of two foot conduit through the drilled hole. We also didn't trim the side branches flush, but left about 1/2". This allows the side branch nubs to act as hooks for attaching tie ups. Hopefully, since the bamboo never contacted the earth, we'll be able to use the same stakes for a few years.

I'd love to see a few pictures of other folks' gardens.
