End of the Line

The cucumber was done.. no cukes, no blossoms. I had probably 10 or so total over the season. The tomato had a few left almost ripe. I picked them and took down the Topsy Turvy's. All in all, it was fun. The crop wasn't huge, and the tomatoes were small (golf-ball size). However they were good to eat. I don't think the Topsy Turvy's would survive another season. The sun significantly weakened the plastic--much like a blue tarp that's left in the sun. When I took the dirt out I was surprised at how small the root system seemed to be. I grew tomatoes last year and they had quite a healthy system. These were minimal by comparison. Not sure why... I fertilized and God knows I watered. Anyway.. that's it.
