Bed # 2

Now we get into the vegetable beds. It is going to seem like alot in one 4X8 ft bed but with trellising and cages it works fairly well. I will definately be changing some things next year but for year 1 it is a good start. There are 2 6 ft trellis that span the 4 ft width of the bed for the cherry and roma tomatoes and cages for the Golden Rave tomatoes. I have found the peppers to be getting a little crowded so I will have to figure out how to rearrange for next year.

So here we go.

6 - roma tomatoes
6 - cherry tomatoes
8 - Golden Rave tomatoes
4 - regular small eggplant (can't remember the variety but they are more round)
4 - Japanese type eggplant
4 - Gypsy Hybrid Tomatoes
4 - marigolds

I already have alot of green tomatoes but they seem to be stalling on growing past a certain stage. I think I have given them a little too much nitrogen so I am pulling back and using an actual tomato fertilizer to get them a boost plus prune back some of the leaves of the tomatoes.
