finally i'm posting this summer's photos... august...
the new tomato bed on the south side of the house
entrance to the potager
brugmansia did well this year
fancy portulaca, which was a bright spot in the summer heat
colton posing in front of a harvest
we were gone for a week in summer; here's the harvest
we had so many tomatoes that i roasted & froze 4 dozen and gave away lots
the night blooming cereus usually blooms around my birthday in late august
sunflowers did well this year, though everything was late
i'm fond of this color combination
you can see the potager thinning out here in september
the nasturtium grew up the fence
annual salvia and zinnias in the center of the potager
the lespedeza had a nice show, despite the dry weather
good bye, summer!

Our tomatoes did terrible this year, but oh the green beans! I couldn't even keep up with them. Note to self, plant less!
Hi what do you do to till your boxes at the end of the planting season? Do you rototill ?
Hi Rosey, I dig up the beds, turn over the soil,add compost, peat and lime, and mix. Sometimes my husband will take pity on me and help. I think the boxes are a bit small for a rototiller, maybe not worth the bother. Thanks for visiting GF!
