Update

So I've been avoiding you. And I'm sorry. Oh well though "you" is a general term for the people that don't even read my blog in the first place so really its no big deal.
So I picked green beans today and there were enough for the father and I to have some, along with peas from the garden and the CSA, and a single carrot. The outside was very purple, the inside not so much. Basically just the peel was orange and the inside was yellow. But I'm not too worried about it. I think next year I'll grow orange though as they're supposed to taste better. And I think I'll plant more because they're doing really well and don't have problems with pests really. I'll also plant more beans. I estimate that I've only gotten about 3/4 of a pound so far, but they're still producing so I'm not considered about that number. And I didn't even plant that many. The ones in the earthbox definitely grew faster though, but they sort of are covering up the carrots. I think if i plant beans again in the box ill just do 2 rows because 8 carrots is pretty measly and the beans are sort of smothering them anyway.

The potatoes are basically failing and I don't know why. I've used organic bug spray and serenade on them and they stopped their spiral downward but still look pretty much like shit. The tomatoes are doing well but I planted them too close together. And Isis Candy grew like a maniac but has one baby cherry as far as I can see. And its flopping all over the place. One of them has a very manageable habit but I don't know which yet because the 'maters are still green. Cream sausage has done very well, and I think I'll plant more determinate types next year because it has loads of them and its not to big. Some dumb animal ate like 3 of the green ones though. Asshole. The cucumbers are doing well too but the stupid deer keep eating they're leaves off. They've grown up to the top already and the deer can't reach that far so its okay now. The lettuce is all flowery and happy, but so far only the yugoslavian red has any opened ones. I plan to pollinate and save some before the Forellenschuss opens up. Hopefully that one will just self pollinate.

The peas did well except they had a bunch of caterpillars so I'll have to keep an eye on that for next year. And Japanese beetles are freaking all over the place I'm going to look for some organic killer but if I can't find any I'll probably get some anyway. I'm sick of them.
