Last year's garden was a little disappointing. I had a bumper crop in cucumbers, peppers and Zucchini, but terrible for tomatoes (My favorite)
I decided to change locations of a few of the plants and with that tried to also figure out a way to get the most out of my vining plants.
I put in a 7' arch between my raised planters and mage some raised "Potatoe Planters"

I planted: Asparagus, Red skin & Yukon potatoes, Cherry and Beefsteak Tomatoes, Green Beans, Crooked Neck Squash, Egg Plant, Red Bells, Sugar Snap Peas, Burpless cukes and Pickle cukes, Onions, Carrots Strawberries and Basil. That's all I can think of at the moment. LOL

Let's see your gardens!
Looks great so far 8)
I need to get busy and prep for this year's crops, last year got away from me when my dad passed away and I never took care of it or harvested any corn :(
Asparagus will be harvestable in 3yrs??
I did some Chinese eggplants, heirloom tomatoes, beeksteaks, and midnight snack cherry tomatoes. Also airlayered some branches on my Ana apple tree, grafted some scions onto 2 guava trees and some cherimoyas. Hand pollinated some mangoes and transplanted some pawpaw trees into the ground.
The garden is starting to boom. Getting some of the good leafy stuff now.

That was fast !
Not the leafy stuff I was hoping to see...
The garden is spitting out produce, but nothing more than the Boston Pickles I planted.

Green beans are also just overwhelming us.

Hmmm... Time to make the pickles!

I made 6 jars to start and damn, they are good. I have to laminate this recipe because nothing I've ever had even comes close!

I didn't have garlic cloves, so I used garlic powder in a pinch. It didn't matter... it was so good.
My garden is a dead weed patch from last year still :-[ :-[
Well, after over 40-quart jars of pickles this season, the new crops coming in are peppers, eggplant and tomatoes.
