This is attempt #3 in 3 years at a veggie garden in our back yard.
History:
The first year I tried growing veggies in pots, I got a few tomatos, a miniature butternut squash, a mini watermelon, and a gigantic zuchinni, but that's it. That winter I planted Fava Beans as a cover crop in an area that I planned to make a veggie bed, and while the fava beans did very well, I failed to grow anything at all in the bed over the summer. The cover crop was not enough on it's own to make a good growing medium for the plants, and they all stayed about the size they were when I bought them in the nursery.
This year, I filled the bed with new soil, and am trying a random assortment of veggies.
The List:
- Tomato (four varieties)
- cherry tomato
- eggplant
- cucumber
- crookneck sqaush
- cantelope
- watermelon
- nasturiums
- artichoke
- corn
- snap beans
- edamame
- sunflower edible
- sunflower decorative
