Here's our garden this year. The prior 2 years produced horrific results after we moved, but this year looks really good so far. This year, I built a whole shade cloth system, which probably was unnecessary. And I discovered a great time release fertilizer that was necessary for the soil here.
Given the way water drains into our back yard, we really only have about a 30 feet by 12 feet rectangle to plant in, which is why everything is crammed together and on trellises.
The majorly over-engineered structure..
The most vegetation you can fit in a 2x8 rectangle. 42 Pole bean plants, a dozen celery plants, and 4 yellow bell peppers.. Need to make this more bunny-proof - they are cute right? But they love beans, and they've developed a taste for tomatoes too.
Tomatoes and basil
Bell peppers and hot banana peppers
The cucumber trellis.. Can I go through jute twine and cable ties, or what?
