My small harvest from my front porch

Hey folks! Is anybody out there watching anymore? It’s been nine or ten months since I last posted about moving from my former home and leaving my gardens behind to my ex-wife. If you have read this blog in the past, you know that it would be nearly impossible for me to not find some way to garden, even in my rented townhouse. So, this summer, I set up two large pots on the front porch and jammed them full of green beans (bush style), a pepper, a cherry tomato, and some fragrant petunias to fill in the gaps. Yeah, quite a bit in two pots. I’d take a pic, but they got a little ragged when I was gone to California for a long weekend and they didn’t get watered. Oh well, the tomato is still going strong, and I harvested most of the beans this week. Here are photos of this week’s little harvest. :)

I actually got three more cherry tomatoes this week, too, but you know, you can’t take pictures of every little cherry tomato, right? The beans were a great late-night snack, stir-fried in olive oil, with some chicken strips thrown in and a stir-fry sauce added after they cooked a bit. Nice, even without rice. I hope your harvests are going well! Next year’s garden will surely be bigger… :)

  1. Thanks, Samantha. Your hope will actually be partly fulfilled quite soon; I am getting married in October. We will be dividing our time between her home in the Sierra Nevada foothills of California and my home here in Utah, so really I will have the bigger garden at our California home. Next year, this blog will probably have a split personality with California and Utah gardening features!

  2. Steve,
    I hope your goal for the future is to get a bigger place and another wife:)! I love the knowledge you have…I do hope you will keep up the blog!!!
