The last of the peppers and tomatoes were harvested and we began clearing out the plants. We noticed a varmint had already harvested most of the carrots.
Something's been digging in the garden!
Last of the tomatoes!
In this first year crop, few differences between the two sides were noticed. Next year we’ll have to adjust the overhead sprinklers so both sides get adequate and equal water. We will re-test the soil, add amendments as necessary, and plant different crops.
Aside from the onions, carrots and beans, we saw little difference in plant growth between the two beds. Our yields of squashes, cucumbers, peppers and tomatoes were good from both beds. In mid-September, the squash and cucumber plants were removed because of powdery mildew. They had quite overgrown the small space of the gardens.
