Vegetables Gardening - Growing Organic Vegetables

Group:

I've told you before about the great garden created by Victoria and Wally Roth in Bend, Oregon. Well, here's an update and some pictures.

These great people have created an amazing commercial - and humanitarian - garden just from studying Let's Grow Tomatoes by Dr. Jacob R. Mittleider.

They did learn a few things from The Mittleider Gardening Course book and a seminar we conducted there as well, but they were already successful before we arrived. Here is her latest report of their growing season. And I've added 3 pictures to the Photo Section:

"Hi Jim,
What a busy summer. We are harvesting between 200-300 pounds of tomatoes a week and sell out every market. Haven't been able to meet the demand yet. Seems the more we grow the bigger my customer base gets. The extra lime really made a difference in the blossom end rot we were seeing.

"It has been quite a hit taking the Model A to market with the tomatoes in the back. People love the little red truck. I quit my full-time night job and am now on call . It is amazing how much more I am accomplishing at home now. We are both doing really well.

We are on the backyard garden tour in the morning. Our community garden is amazing this year. Thousands of pounds of food pouring out of it. 12 people are being fed by it and the excess is being donated to local food banks.

All is well. We think of you both and miss you. Love to your beautiful lady.
Victoria"

I encourage everyone to get serious about following the RECIPE that is the Mittleider System of growing, and make your own gardens the best in YOUR communities.
