Tin Can's garden update

Since this May the garden has produced:
  • 10 pounds of carrots
  • 3 leeks
  • 6 pounds swiss chard
  • 18 3/4 pounds of green beans
  • 17 heads of garlic
  • 2 beets
  • 16 zuchinni
  • 1/4 lb shelled peas
  • 3 1/2 lb. head of cabbage
  • 2 english cucumbers
  • 1 beefsteak tomato
  • 2 green zebra tomatoes
The Basil already wants to go to seed, I keep cutting the flowers off. 
I want enough to make a few batches of pesto to freeze!
 
Broccoli has not been that good and its was not last year either.
I may try a different heirloom, these are small florettes.




 CORN!! There are maybe 10 ears hiding behind the tomatoes
 San Marzano tomatoes
 The only tomato I bought at the Home Depot, beefsteak!
 More pretty Beefsteak babies!
 My mini rose from Mothers Day last year
 I just like this picture
 Painted Lady runner beans They are so tall grew all the way up to the roof and now I am training them sideways. The pods are about a foot long. and we will get dried beans from them.
 
 Gallons of parsley
 A rainbow chard is hiding amongst the basil
 Random Romain growing amongst the pursulane
 First Carnival carrots my belly snuck into this picture
All the veggies are from seed this year except for a Serrano, a beefsteak and bell peppers.
