I never dreamed this little garden would draw so much attention but I am pretty sure at least half the town drives by to check it out. Some stop to chat about it 🙂 It’s been a great experiment, I still have a lot to learn about this style of gardening, and it’s something I will continue to do.
I put the arbors (cattle panel) between T-post and tried the square bale method down the sides. On the right you can see the cherry tomato growing in a five gallon pot and it took over the first whole panel. Just picked all the goodies, but you can see the size of it.
I plan to cover it all with plastic before the first frost to see how long I can keep the tomatoes and peppers going, and to keep some fresh green through the winter. In the spring, look out, I plan to fill it will tray upon tray of spring planting starts, houseplants, and who knows what else.
Nothing like being a little ambitious, huh?

Wandering jew: Thi s one had a birds nest in it which really killed it off. This spring, only about 2″ high and about 30 stems. TLC works. 
Malabar Spinach took over the whole center right of the arbor. 
Malabar spinach is a super climber and would make great (edible shade) on any arbor.

Purple plant is a sweet potato 
Several people have munched on these sweet, delicious cherry tomatoes from my garden all summer. I have no idea the variety so I hope I can save some seeds for next year.
