Balcony Garden Update

Things were going great guns until about three weeks ago when the beans got some kind of blight from which they have not recovered. We were already fearing the consequences of their going three weeks without water during the looming Christmas vacation back in TN. My homemade watering system using aquarium tubing, valves and a water reservoir will sustain the healthy tomatoes and basil and mint but the speckled butter beans ( my pride and joy) are toast.

We have been surprised at how well this experiment has gone.

The speckled butter beans did not make it.

We are looking forward to the tomatoes though. Not bad for the resources we had for this project!
