Wow, your garden is so amazing! Those zucchini leaves are HUGE!

Is that a water tank in the top right at the beginning with the yellow fencing around it? Did you install that just for the garden?

Your greenhouse plants are giant, too. You're going to have tomatoes for miles, it looks like!

Thank you!
Yes, that is a water tank that I installed to store rain water, and to use for the garden. We have a separate water collection tank by the house that gets filled by the rain gutters. I pump that water out to the tank at the end of the garden, that way I can store more water for when it doesn't rain for a week or 2.
I kind of over-planted tomato plants this year. My outside plants didn't produce very well last year and I ran out of canned tomatoes in about March, using one pint jar per week. I didn't want that to happen again... 😀

I used to use tomato sauce at such a fast rate, but lately not so much. I tend to go through phases where I just can't get enough of something and then it's like, okay, bored with that now. LOL

I usually make tomato sauce just to make pasta sauce. I don't really use it for anything else.
