In getting ready to move, we haven't spent as much time on our boxes as we would like. Here are their final pictures.
Box one got a make-over to help the house sell better. We up-rooted the tomato plants and planted some flowers and oriental peppers in the back and some radishes up front. I was limited on time so I didn't thin the radishes like they needed, but oh well, they were just for show anyway. I chose to plant radishes because they grow so fast. They sprouted in just 4 days!
Box 2 needs some tender loving care. It is the end of the season for the cucumbers and they all need to be up-rooted but that will be the next home-owners project. I'm keeping the vines up for show. The carrots are also for show. We still have one tomato plant there in the back that is producing. It has a lot of flowers so it may come back now that the mean summer heat is gone.
Here is box 3. The bell pepper are still producing! And the canolope is doing just fine. As you see, that is pretty much it. Yes, those are green beans in the back, but they are non-producing. Our rabbit even stopped eating them. I wonder why??
And Box 4. So sad, our corn just didn't do well. It burned in the summer heat. If I was staying, I would have this box cleared by now. Yet I don't want an empty box for showing so I put a scare crow out there and am leaving the stalks up as a fall decoration.

So hard to leave your first house. I have enjoyed your garden journal. :)
