Taking Stock of the Garden
What Worked and
What Needs Tweaking?

By , About.com GuideAugust 18, 2011

Follow me on:

It's time to take stock of how your garden is shaping up and make some mental notes for next year. Almost everything is at peak now, so if your garden isn't looking its best, maybe some changes are in order. Or maybe it's time to do some careful editing and reworking of those gardens that have long since hit their stride and are rapidly on their way to reckless abandon. The task can seem daunting, but I always recommend fixing the problem that gives you the most grief. That fix will feel so good you'll want to keep going on to the next insurmountable task and the next.

Seems like every year this one is added to my list: better tomato supports. Make sure the “Bush Beans” are actually bush and not semi-vining (semi?!!) Also, plant more garlic.

You made me laugh. Better tomato supports must be a universal resolution. I guess having large, heavy tomato plants is a blessing and a curse.
