We have been facing a drought in my area for the past two months. Keeping up with basic chores has been challenging, especially as we watch some of the annuals we started from seed wilt away. In this video, I showcase the impressive harvest from my raised bed garden filled with vegetables and herbs. You won’t want to miss the list of tomatoes and other edible plants that thrived despite only receiving 0.38 inches of rain last month. Be sure to scroll down for my recommendations and accompanying images.
Last Summer Harvest Video
This video captures my raised bed gardens during the final days of summer. It’s not fancy or heavily edited; instead, it offers an authentic glimpse into how my plants are faring at the end of this dry season. Just a heads-up—watch your step to avoid tripping over the hose that’s been in use non-stop this month as we gather some Roma and Slicer varieties.
The video featured in this post comes from my Bren Haas YouTube Channel. I encourage you to leave a comment if you have any questions or feedback. I would be thrilled to hear from you, whether on my YouTube channel or right here in the blog post.
