The time to put the garden away had finally come. The netting was removed, the structure taken down and the last of the plants pulled from the bales. Three of six bales were still in pretty good shape, and three just fell apart in a rich humus. I think I will try and grow potatoes in those three good bales this season if they have wintered well.
I wanted to show a couple of pictures of the root structures of a couple of the plants. In the past, in my container gardens, the roots hardly ever changed much from the day they were planted. 
The above picture is one of the tomato plants root structure.
This is the root clump inter-twined with the straw from the basil plant. My foot is just to demonstrate the scale.
