Lates pic

Actually these pictures are from a couple days ago but things are growing well. The squash is starting to flower and I have baby cucumers and tomatoes everywhere. The spider mites and aphids are still giving me problems and with the heat and wind is making it difficult to control. But each year/season gives it's own unique challenges.

From the first pic you can see my porch with the other plants as well. The potatoes are in the large blue buckets and there are some herbs and lettuce in the other containers. The green bags have strawberries (try 2) and the other pots are peppers, or basil and even a few sunflowers. Yes, there is a topsy turvy as well. I figured it was on sale last year so I would try it this year. So far I am not very impressed. In the background along the house you can also see one of the four rain barrels that I have set up to collect water from the gutters.
