Vegetable Gardening 2006

Due to the wonders of lead contamination, I got to completely re-do my garden this year. The new garden consists of two 4'' x 9'' raised beds, 15" deep. The walls are made out of "Veranda" brand composite decking. I started using the "Square Foot Gardening" method this year, so I''ve got a ton of stuff planted. It seems to be working out well, but I''ve already had to prune some stuff back, so we shall see what it looks like by the end of the season.

This year, I planted:
  • Tomato ''Black Prince'
  • Tomato ''Matt''s Wild Cherry''
  • Tomato ''San Marzano''
  • Pepper ''Lipstick''
  • Pepper ''Tam Jalepeno'
  • Pepper ''Carmen''
  • Pepper ''Gourmet'' F1
  • Pepper ''Yankee Bell''
  • Cucumber ''Diva''
  • Sweet Corn
  • Zuccini
  • Eggplant
  • Okra
  • Spinach
  • Cantaloupe (Muskmelon)
  • Watermelon
  • Red Potatoes
  • Carrots
  • Onions
  • Parsley ''Forest Green''
  • Parsley ''Titan''
  • Cilantro ''Santo''
  • Basil ''Genovese Compact''
  • Basil, Cinnamon
  • Dill ''Superdukat''


Yes, those tomatoes are already over 5'' tall. In June.
