Anyone else enjoy gardening?

We have had very large gardens in the past, but life circumstances have reduced the size considerably.  We are renting a house now, and we didn't want to tear up the back yard, so my girl discovered the ingenious idea of putting the dirt in coffee sacks for some of our plants so we aren't destroying the yard.  But we got a super late start.  These were planted around june 10th, but they've been doing really well.  In Pennsylvania, we should be starting this in mid to late May.

The first two pics are Caspian Pink heirloom tomatoes (Both over 6 feet tall now). Note the makeshift tree branches with twine used as a cage extension for the 7 foot tall plants..:





And then this is a coffee bag with Red cherry peppers, swiss chard and onions on the side - we're not sure yet whether this is a good idea:



Then we were able to plant some stuff in the flower beds, in shadier spots:

Sungold (hybrid) cherry tomatoes - they ripen orange:



Genovese Basil with cucumbers in the back, and another Caspian Pink:



And another Caspian Pink tomato (the plant is close to 8 feet tall now) with some more genovese basil.  When this plant was a seedling, it was pretty curved, so I planted it at the shadiest spot - it has surprised quite a bit:



I assume, we will have plenty of green tomatoes come mid october (yikes!), but what we have, all things considered, is really growing nicely.

It's fun seeing everybody else's plants
