I have had a garden now for 3 years. The first year was kind of a bust but the last 2 have been pretty good and I learn so much year after year and I am always willing to try new things with it.
I tried green peas again this year but in the past, I have not received a bounty of them. So in less than a month we will see how well they turn out. RC (my husband) added a trellis made out of metal posts, metal wire, and string.
In this section of the garden with the peas, I planted green, purple, and yellow bush beans, cauliflower, broccoli, and green leaf lettuce. This is my first year doing lettuce, broccoli, and cauliflower. So far they are all doing amazing. I planted early (second week in March).
In the next area, I have 1 row of burpless cucumbers, 2 rows of pickling cucumbers, and 1 row of zucchini. RC put up trellises for the cucumbers the same way he did the peas.
My next plot is my tomato/tomatillo/yellow squash section (yellow squash and tomatillos have not come out of the ground yet. I have 57 tomato plants; roma, cherry, better boy, homestead, and my favorite, german johnson. I didn't do well last year with tomatoes but then again nobody in Apex did :-( I hope for a better outcome this year. We have 30 tomato cages made of concrete wire. (all of RC's hard work)
My last plot is my potatoes. I have red, yukon gold, and russets.
