My Own Labels Garden Update

With July here already, summer is in full swing and the Evermine company garden is growing more each day! This is the second Evermine garden update here on the blog (read the first one here). Today one of our software programmers, Ritch took me outside with his son, Truman to show me what’s growing in his garden plot. This is his second year participating in the garden.

“I have far too much shade at home for my two favorite things to grow, tomatoes and chilies!” he tells me. “I grew them haphazardly last year, but this year I decided to be more selective about the varieties of tomatoes I’m growing and to use tomato cages. My two-year-old son, Truman plans on eating all of the tomatoes I grow straight off the vine! He’s been talking about it for a few months now. I get to have the chilies, which I plan to combine with some of the tomatoes I secretly keep out of Truman’s hands for making fresh salsa.”

Thanks Ritch and Truman for updating us on what’s growing in your garden!
