Finally have gotten the garden all organized and mostly planted. Starting this spring it looked like a “garbage dump” this is so much more workable! Weeds are rare….but I am always scanning for victims!
Also installed a drip irrigation through out… I hope to save water! What does not show is I put in all the beds this poly stuff that absorbs water ( same as in diapers) to help with the water retention.
This is a list of items have planted. Some are new and just for fun or experimenting!
-Carrots, beets, lettuce, onions, leeks Swiss chard spinach.
-Bell peppers, Halopeno Peppers, Anaheim chili peppers, tomatoes ( roma and better bush ) Tomatillos.
-Corn, pumpkins, sunflowers, zucchini ( green and yellow), muskmelon, cantaloupes, watermelon, cucumbers asparagus potatoes (white and red) okra sweet potatoes, nasturtium
-Dill, basil, oregano, chives, parsley and cilantro
-Beans–green, black turtle, great northern and kidney. chick peas ( garbanzos)
Also rhubarb, strawberries, raspberries blueberries
Can you see this nice and neat area turning in a jungle! Alyssa thinks my garden will mutate and eat me one day!

WOW–everything looks amazing! You are like a master gardener! Everything must taste so good when it is organic and fresh. I think my favorite fresh item from the garden is green beans (well, that and strawberries) Good Job!

Never heard of putting the poly stuff to absorb water. Sound like a good idea that I will have to read up on. Loving your site also.
