It has been a while since I showed the upstairs garden off. My second round of cherry tomatoes are beginning to mature. Here is a close up shot of the tomato canopy.

It's getting harder to water these |

There are too many to count |
I have 2 lettuce plants that have survived. This one pictured is a variety called Nevada, which was bred to withstand high summer heat.

Bottle cap for comparison. This is the larger of the two. |
Since my cucumber plants died off, I replaced them with a cabbage plant. It appears to be surviving the summer heat so far and has grown several leaves.

Yay cabbage. |
My sub-irrigated planter definitely works. The tomato and pepper plants are growing vigorously. Particularly, the Fresno pepper plants have produced lots fruit.

Lots of Fresno peppers |
Of course, no update is complete without a harvest photo. A total of 8 chard leaves, a dozen cherry tomatoes, and 10 Fresno peppers were harvested from upstairs. About 18 serranos were picked downstairs.

Hungry yet? |
