I think this qualifies for intensive gardening.

On the far left are 24 Jersey Giant asparagus plants, left of center are 26 Yukon Gold potatoes, right of center are 26 Kennebec potatoes and far right are 12 Butter Bush winter squash.

These are 20 Nemagold Sweet potatoes.

Between the SPs and Endive and on the fence is a Gardeners Delight cherry tomato.

To the left of the Endive and against the fence is a Fourth of July tomato.

These are my peppers, in front are two rows of three Big Dippers, in the back row there is one Sweet Banana, one Picante and one Red Bell.

Here are 6 Black Beauty eggplants.

In the foreground are 5 Little Cloud cauliflowers. Lost one to a wind storm. In the background are 5 Green Goliath broccolis. Lost one of these in the same storm.

Garlic, onions, spinach and lettuce were harvested form the bed in the foreground and is now ready for fall planting. The bed in the background has one Zucchini plant on the right and two Brandy Boy tomatoes on the left. The two tomato plants are over four ft tall and only have 4-6 tomatoes on each. That rate had better pickup or this year will be the last for Brandy Boys.

Wow, nice garden. I do have a question for you. Do the leaves of your butterbush squash get a white-ish substance on the veins? I thought my plants has the powdery mildew, but now, I'm beginning to wonder. :?

Thanks all, it is under irrigation/w timers so there is nothing to do except wait for something to harvest. John

Yes as do my zucchini but it doesn't bother them.

Thanks for your reply, John. After looking at some other butterbush pics, it looks like it's just something that comes with the variety.
