After much success with last year’s garden, I decided to double my chances and create another box. I took what I learned from last year…
- Peppers love the heat
- You only need one or two cucumber plants
- Separate the vine-type veggies – they overtake others
- Water, water, water
…and did the following:
- Garden box 1 – cucumber, squash, watermelon, cantaloupe, and jumbo jalapeño
- Garden box 2 – tomato, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, banana pepper, regular jalapeño, and onions
So far so good, but the lack of sun does not help. The peppers are not nearly as big as they were last year. Hopefully, that will turn around soon. The squash plant (the big one in box 1) is the most surprising. Last year, the cucumber took over and this year appears to be the year of the squash. I would have never known I would enjoy gardening so much.
