May 2018

I’m slowly raising the height to 16-21 inches to help for when I get older.

I’ll have several tomatoes, bush and pole beans, squash, zucchini, cucumbers, and few bell peppers. I plan to use a 4’x8’ bed to grow some sweet corn.

In other beds, I’ve already got sugar snap peas, spinach, lettuce, carrots, leeks, and broccoli going.
