The garden is coming along as to be expected. We have only been living up here for a few months but I tried to start most of my seeds and veggies before the move. My pepper, beans and corn starts didn't make it but the tomatoes, peas and squash seem to be taking off.
The tomatoes are starting to flower so hopefully that means I'll have tomatoes. The Brandywine plants seem to love it up here and are blossoming like mad! One little tomato so far but lots of flowers! The Marvel Stripe also like the mountains but not as many flowers as the Brandywine. The Green Zebras just are not happy here. Only half of the plants have flowers but none are pollinating. I could do it by hand but this season is more for experimenting than full scale farming.
Everyone told me raspberry plants would grow just fine up here on the mountain but they would not fruit. Well, my plants seem to think otherwise! I have small buds forming that will flower soon.
Even my potato plants seem to be thriving here on the mountain!
