    Between the SPs and Endive and on the fence is a Gardeners Delight cherry tomato.

    In the foreground are 5 Little Cloud cauliflowers. Lost one to a wind storm. In the background are 5 Green Goliath broccolis. Lost one of these in the same storm.

    Garlic, onions, spinach and lettuce were harvested form the bed in the foreground and is now ready for fall planting. The bed in the background has one Zucchini plant on the right and two Brandy Boy tomatoes on the left. The two tomato plants are over four ft tall and only have 4-6 tomatoes on each. That rate had better pickup or this year will be the last for Brandy Boys.

    Your garden looks fantastic. No shortage of food there. My tomatoes were a bust this year also. Need to rethink my garden spot for them I Gues.

    You have a lovely raised bed garden. I am just wandering do you get termites attacking the wooden frames of the raised beds?

    So many healthy plants that appear to have no damage. Mine tend to get chewed on by snails and slugs and end up looking filigreed. Do you treat the wood of your raised beds with any kind of repellent?
