Argentina: Another garden update

As the pandemic stretches on, our garden keeps growing as well. At the rate we're going, we may be able to open a veggie stand by next year. The tomato plants, which now have small green fruits starting to appear, needed to be separated as they began to take up more space. We took that as an opportunity to add a splash of color to the yard, too:

The longer you sit at home with nowhere to go, the more certain spaces pop out and start screaming at you: "DO SOMETHING WITH ME!!!" Hence, we got another raised planter to spruce up what was once a boring and sad wall. It's not as deep of a planter, so we are growing plants that don't have deep roots: cauliflower, broccoli, and a different variety of lettuce than the kind we already had planted. 

Here are the two original planters in their current state:

The carrots' greenery is quite deceiving. The roots still need a bit more time to develop, as can be seen here:

It hasn't rained since the first week of September, so watering has been a daily chore. Another current battle is keeping the bugs away. Our peppers and broccoli get a daily garlic washing to keep the little white bugs away and the basil, parsley, oregano, and rosemary get their splashes of mint water to keep the green pee-smelling bugs away. Rain is forecasted throughout the week starting tomorrow, and it will be gladly welcomed by our plants and the ongoing wildfires in the mountains nearby.

By the next update, hopefully we'll be knee-deep in tomatoes, peppers, and carrots.
