wish i had a good sized area to garden, but i'm pretty much stuck in raised beds and containers. but i still have fun with it. wish the weed grew like beans, those broke the ground two days ago. got 2 kinds of beans, 2 kinds of cukes, better boy and roma tomatoes, butternut squash, eggplant, green, banana, and cubanelle mild peppers, 5 kinds of hot peppers, 2 kinds of pumpkins, basil, oregano, rosemary....and anything else i see that looks good...till i run out of room
trying to give stuff plenty of time before i put it out, it's traditionally safe here on tax day.

@Roger A. Shrubber Looks like you going to have your hands full(and stomach from all that Yogurt). One thing I learned about Eggplant, at least the ones I grew, You just can't kill them. Grew them a few years ago in the drought we had and I neglected them for a while. They never done any better.

They do rake it. Guys go down the rows and rake it to the middle of the rows, away from the trees. Then they go down the middles and bail it.

I haven't grown Swiss Chard in a good while. Really liked it when I grew it.. I think I have some seeds.

my stomach is messed up, so i eat a LOT of yogurt....and not really a whole lot else.
i'll give away about 3/4 of what i grow in the garden because i can't eat it, just like growing stuff

Grow low acid tomatoes
I think them yellow pear shaped toms are low acid.. If memory serves me correctly , I believe most yellows and white veriaties are low in acid.. Maybe some red breeds .

I grew the Yellow Pear tomatoes the last two years. Low in acid and a crazy producer. They grow in tags. I grew one in a kiddie pool {45 gallon} and it got huge. It got to be a pain in the ass having to pick so many tomatoes everyday.

Kind of, sort of, but not really. It's like kale or spinach. All the crinkles makes it a bitch to wash, but a good green.

They are good producers.. I grew the yellow pear five years ago.. And mine too became a pain in the butt with picking everyday.. So much so I just let them go..lol..
