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.
