New season

My last time veggies have all withered and died. Harvest of tomatoes and lima beans was senasttional . I had so much, when picking regularly I had to give away since my family was getting sick of eating them. We generally eat a LOT OF TOMATOES!!!Since I harvested tomates I boought them from the market only two times ( After plants have died away , beacuse  i feel my home grown ones were better and I know what goes in there. I know how difficult it was to protect them from infections and bugs organically!!! I am reluctant to buy non organic now I can imagine how much pesticides gets loaded into them. !!! I NEVER THOUGHT THIS MUCH OF HARVEST WAS POSSIBLE ON A ROOFTOP!!! Now , I am about to begin my second season of planting.
 Watering was my other problem and I am going to set up a drip irrigation system to which my 12 old is all out to assit me with it !!!  Idea is  to able to water from ground floor while doing something else.
