2012 Season

From Left to right:

• Cherry Tomatoes
• Lettuce
• Cherry Tomato
• Bean
• A Row of Zucchini
• Another row of Cherry Tomato
• A Row of Zucchini
• Snap Peas
• Tomato + Potato
• Pumpkin
• Pepper

Lessons taught from this year: put the Zucchini on the end so it can "over flow, without shading plants nearby.

Lessons Learned this year: pinch the armpits of the tomato, this keeps the tomatoes from getting to leggy, it limits grow , but ensures that tomatoes that do grow , grow well. And I have no shortage of flowers ( as of july ).

Potted Basil is growing like gang-busters from last year's seed.
