That's expected in northern Utah. I sliced my first cucumber and two tomatoes and added a little rice vinegar. Yum! I started the tomatoes in my kitchen window. I transplanted the tomatoes in late May and took the walls of water off the third week in June. I have to cut the drip line time in half and then it takes about 10 days. Each year I do that the end of July. I have 22 plants. Any chance you have a drawing of your garden? I've seen the amazing photos but I'd love to see a drawing of how it's all laid out.Beeks by the Lakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12592978205053247507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-91609541721305324302011-08-09T18:25:12.482-04:002011-08-09T18:25:12.482-04:00I'm getting behind again. I've only gotten...I'm getting behind again. I've only gotten to a third of the posts so far. So for now I'll just answer questions in the comments.<br /><br />Sue, no it didn't. Sadly. This one ripened under the beans that were taking it over so it wasn't as good. But the one I had this morning was wonderful. <br /><br />Marcia, which one? Last year I used the rock wall garden. I'm getting more tomatoes, but I have 21 plants. Last year 13 (with one pulled). Each plant this year is producing less. Last year they kept going for a long time. This year the heat wiped a lot of them out. I've really only got four good producing plants left. So not as good of a year for tomatoes, but the number of them planted is making up for it.<br /><br />RandomGardener, it is Halona. They are supposed to be 4-6 lbs, but they are much smaller. <br /><br />Granny, sorry just ate. Broccoli, tomato salad, bbq chicken, and grilled bread. <br /><br />Vanessa, I have 21 tomato plants. Or did until I pulled most of them today. I've never read it, but it was one of the reasons I started doing my calculations. I heard about the book. And Burpee was saying for $25 you could grow $2000 in food. I didn't believe either one of them. <br /><br />Nikki, this is the first year in this garden. So it could just be the soil. This soil warms up so much faster than my last garden and it is sandy instead of clay. <br /><br />Barb, yes I use row covers. I try to make the garden last as long as possible. I'll even add two layers, one plastic, one remay, to make the season as long as possible.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-83164895776350321972011-08-09T15:50:40.784-04:002011-08-09T15:50:40.784-04:00Every time I visit your blog I am just amazed at a...Every time I visit your blog I am just amazed at all that you grow.

Mine are beginning to fizzle out a bit, though I decided to leave the cherry tomato plants in place for now because they had a new crop of green tomatoes.<br /><br />I'm still waiting for the beans to start up again. Lots of flowers and little beans, but that's it.<br /><br />Do you use row covers to extend your season? I'm looking at the ones from Gardener Supply along with hoops to try it this fall.Barb @ A Life in Balancehttp://alifeinbalance.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-27130302383272002852011-08-09T01:12:33.129-04:002011-08-09T01:12:33.129-04:00What a great harvest you´ve got there and you´ve g...What a great harvest you´ve got there and you´ve grown your own melon...me like.Rosor och Pionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11903713984341681886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-49765028416124805532011-08-09T01:12:13.119-04:002011-08-09T01:12:13.119-04:00your harvests are incredible! those tomatoes, my g...your harvests are incredible! those tomatoes, my goodness. thanks for the opportunity to share.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17114229789417525889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-37513605849104535222011-08-09T01:00:07.323-04:002011-08-09T01:00:07.323-04:00Any ideas about why your onions are so much bigger...Any ideas about why your onions are so much bigger this year? Last year mine were a nice 3-4 inches but this year the tops have been browning and falling when the bulbs are only an inch or two across. I didn't do anything differently that I can recall :( <br /><br />Also that melon looks so yummy. We're waiting on our first to ripen, but so far we've had to compost two watermelons and 3 musk melons WAY before they were ripe due to bunny damage to the vines.Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05250815507879755948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-68660826707755261732011-08-08T23:06:42.084-04:002011-08-08T23:06:42.084-04:00I am jealous of your melon.

I have noticed that you keep track of what was spent and then how much money your produce would be worth and figure out the difference. I am just curious how you determine what everything was worth and such. It reminds me of the book $64 Tomato, have you ever read it?

I built the beds in May after a very wet Spring left the soil unworkable, so I planted late. And Bolton is probably 3 weeks behind Arlington weather-wise. Still, plenty of season left to enjoy the garden.David Veltenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07710293718143454000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-58774585167918924902011-08-08T14:34:49.544-04:002011-08-08T14:34:49.544-04:00Fresh potatoes AND corn?
