Wordless Wednesday: Seeing Results

Right about now we start seeing results from our efforts to grow food. If you planted in March or April, tomatoes are setting fruit, and the garden gearing up for high production. But it’s not too late to get started. Here’s some inspiration to motivate your garden activities this week.

One of the strategies we share in Plan Your Abundant Edible Garden is to use shadows and height to your advantage. We plant crops that bolt easily, like cilantro, arugula, and dill, in the shadow of tomatoes to make them last longer.
