This is my second year of having a garden. It's still in progress (we have a gazebo that's being moved which should provide a lot more shade), but I'm going to ramble about it anyway.
I'm mostly using Square Foot Gardening, although I think the prescribed ratios for the soil are too heavy on vermiculite (you're supposed to use 1/3 peat moss, 1/3 vermiculite, and 1/3 compost) so I used less this time. I'd like to use coco coir instead of peat moss, but it's still too expensive and I can't get it around here.
In the fake barrel is a 100s Sweet cherry tomato from last year. Two of the grow bags are peppers I saved as well, but I don't know if they're going to grow. They aren't doing much. And the last big thing in a grow bag is an eggplant which has been flowering and has an eggplant going.
I'm not sure which variety it is - I saved too, but had to throw out one because of spider mites. F--ing See full post at https://wp.me/p2sEtx-D8
