new garden

Hi
I am excited about my little deck garden. Last years tomato plants grew about 6ft tall. And yes, that means more plant than tomato - but still enough for my family. I have planted about a dozen tomato plants in pots this year - trying Cherokee Black tomatoes for the first time - can't wait to taste those! I love German Johnson's and have an additional three plants of cherry tomatoes. Growing cucumbers, squash and carrots as well. I also am trying gourds - have to wait and see if that works. I have mixed in plenty of marigolds and zinnias for color and pest control.
