In 2 weeks, my sign is almost overtaken by the tomatoes! Check the small green mater lower right.
These photos were all taken June 15 at the community garden---the big box with heirloom tomatoes above, you can still see the tops of the cages but they're growing so fast.
I needed one more tub for my fave, Yellow Crookneck Squash, and got this for $5 at Home Depot, it's around 20 gal. and took a full 2 cu. ft. bag o dirt. Yellow Crookneck is an heirloom squash--if you pick em small, you can keep up with them. Plus the male flowers are dee-lish too. 
At the other end of the box, more tubs---on left, tomato with pole beans at the back so they can climb up onto that arbor which now has peas, and they've been feeding me for weeks. On the right, another heirloom tomato with cucumber at the back to climb up the arbor eventually or hang down. That's another potato in between.
The front of the big box, with more tubs of potatoes (black) and tomatoes (green), looks pretty wild!
June looks good to me. Well done with this post friend., I really like it. Moreover, i would like to appreciate the work that you do on this blog. Keep it up.
