Peppers, watermelons, and tomatoes. Lots of tomatoes, Brandywine heirloom and cherries. We'll see how it goes this year. Much bigger than last year's garden at 150 square feet, versus the former 65-ish. The layout's also better than in past years, there's plenty of mulch, and there's a leave-it-alone soaker hose dedicated to each of the three beds. Toss in a UV flashlight for spotlighting hornworms, and the whole thing should go a lot easier than last year's effort.
Still some stuff to do. The fence mesh needs to be properly stretched and hung on the T-posts, but it's good enough now to keep the bunnies at bay until I can get back to it. Got to build some supports for the tomatoes. Think I'll make tripods out of bamboo growing in the side yard for this; easier and cheaper than stakes. Maybe some more mulch. And the rest will just take time, water, and sunlight.
