Last night I took a few quick pictures of the porch garden. The plants are mostly doing well.

The Thai Pink Egg tomatoes have been a mixed bag this year. One of the plants is doing well, the other not as much. The nasturtiums behind the Thai Tomatoes are blooming and look great.

Out front the Patio Orange tomato has been a nice surprise so far. The small compact plant seems well suited to the porch garden. Hopefully we will get some tomatoes. The Lemon Cucumber is growing next to it on one side and our watermelon on the other. As the weather warms I expect they’ll do more.

Our most productive container this year has been the lettuce container. Aside from the lettuce we have a bunch of carrots and radishes growing in the container. Our rose bush is behind the container.

I didn’t bother taking a picture of the other container. The leaf borers pretty much destroyed the swiss chard and spinach. I got rid of the infested leaves — I don’t know if the chard will recover or not. The peas are doing good but we’d need to have a lot more planted to get a useful harvest. I’ll probably replant with something else. Maybe more tomatoes since they produce well and seem to be resistant to pests.
