Let's see those '09 gardens

L -> R, T -> B:
Peppers & eggplant, bok-choy, string beans, carrots and lettuce.
Tomatoes, onions, squash, radish.
Cucumbers, corn with pumpkin at the ends, potatoes.

The grapes are going strong this year. We have had a very mild spring so far. Usually summer weather starts a month ago.

It will be one of those "trial by error" adventures.

As with so many other things, just jump in where you can. Success can only be measured by your own enjoyment and edification. A garden can be as small a container or acre upon acre. My experience using AACT has only a been a few years, it was a leap of faith to start, seemed so complex. I understand more now than then and with the help of friends. My passion is fueled by curiosity and the need to know more about the soil. If anyone would like to know more about making compost tea PM me and I will do my best to answer your questions.

Lance, the new watering system looks good and I like the garden location, seems to lend itself to gravity watering from rain water collection
