Fail Blog

One of the reasons we started this blog is to document some of the recurring problems we've had in the past. A particular problem is an assumed bacterial wilt of some sort that affects our Yellow Pear tomatoes. Apparently the bacteria can stay in the soil for years, which is probably why I've had this problem for years. This year it was particularly bad (sad), and I've had to rip up the plant before we even got any fruit:

The Amish Paste tomato is also questionable, but not suffering as badly as the Yellow Pear (they are on opposite ends of the tomato side of the garden). It's wilted-looking but still green and growing, if slowly.

The other three tomatoes (Brandywine, Cherokee Purple, and Pink) are looking beautiful along with the carrots we planted in between!

Behind the tomatoes are the Christmas lima beans which are doing their pole thing all across the fence:

On the squash side of the garden, I've picked a handful of green beans and we have some fuzzy little edamame that will soon be ready!
