@loribmt You have great gardens. My daughter lives in the city but she has a courtyard with a small section built up with dirt in it so she started gardening last year and was surprisingly successful at it. Of course she thoroughly researched growing the vegetables she planted before she started. So this year she started a tomato plant for me and a cucumber plant. They are in those burlap type of pots but have grown very well. The tomatoes are tiny but abundant. The cucumbers have not shown themselves yet nor have my daughters so we are thinking there may have been something wrong with the seeds or seedlings -- I'm not sure which way she started them.
The picture was early in the season last year.

Thank you, JK. I’m so happy to be gardening again. There’s nothing like watching those little seedlings grow and flourish.
Your daughter caught the gardening bug! Haha I love to hear that! She sounds like she’s really enjoying being able to grow her own veggies and it’s proof you don’t need to have large gardens to be rewarded with tasty offerings!
That’s disappointing about the cucumbers. Wow, those things usually grown uncontrollably once they start. Though I know a couple of years ago, our neighbor here in WI and my daughter, who lives in MN were both struggling with their cucumber plants. Not sure if it’s seeds or growing conditions? But this year, wow, the cukes in our garden are going crazy. The broccoli, well, that was apparently was planted solely for the benefit of bunnies, 🐰 😕
Enjoy your tomatoes! They’re so yummy fresh off the vines. I found this really good recipe that uses up those cherry tomatoes! We’ve had it a couple of times. If you try the recipe, let me know how you like it.
