@FritzCat I had a pepper plant. Only got one pepper and even though we put netting around the raised boxes with the plants, something ate half of the pepper. I have no clue why I plant a few plants every year when the birds and squirrels eat more of it than we do!
@dontwantaname We were really lucky this year. We did Cherry Tomatoes, San Marzanos and some Porch Tomatoes that all did fairly well. They were starting to get funky so I pulled them up a couple of days ago. The Chives, Basil and Cilantro did fine, but they’re done. The Peppers, Sweet Italian, Cherry and Jalapenos are going crazy, and still flowering. I expect frost soon, but until then Imma keep harvesting. We made pasta sauce and a few batches of killer salsa. It was a good year in the garden. The animals didn’t bother the plants much, even though we have many squirrels and at least one family of rabbits under our deck.
I have 4 raised beds two 4ft x 12 ft (by 18 inches), and two 4ft x 6 ft (by 18). We also put at least 3 tomato plants, eggplant, or peppers in on front–south facing–flower bed in the back row behind the flowers.
We also have a potato patch. Perennial herbs. Edible flowers. Lettuces. This year I think we had 10 different tomato plants? 6 pepper? Squashes, eggplants, carrots, radishes, beets, onions, garlic, leeks. We have a plum tree and a cherry tree. There has not been a single herbicide/pesticide besides neem oil that has touched our lawn or garden for 10 years, so we eat our dandelion and wild strawberries in our mixed lawn.
I honestly, now that our dear dog has passed, wouldn’t mind having no grass in the yard and it all garden, but that isn’t going to happen. We still way overdo it.
Various tomatoes, peppers and some herb(s).
