This is a snap shot of the square foot garden a few months ago. The tomatoes have all died from the heat and a nasty fungus, but the basil and jalepeno peppers are loving the hot weather. It is taking lots of water to keep the alive! If you look closely at the photo you can see the fungus and some leaf miner damage on the leaves of the tomato plants.

snapshot: basil, big boy tomatoes, S100 cherry tomatoes and jalepeno m peppers

This tomato is from a tomato that I threw in the bin at some point. This open bin never got as hot as my compost tumblers which is why tomato seeds are able to germinate, sprout and thrive. I needed to harvest the compost so I transplanted it to my other presto hoop bin. If the tomato survives the transplant I will update with progress.
