Just thinking I can't be the only one who has a garden? Have a nice 16'x16' raised bed in my backyard. Hauled in topsoil many years ago and it's still rockin really good. This year I tried something new. I laid down black weed barrier over the entire garden after I tilled it up. I cut holes in it to plant my plants. So far it's working great. Just a few weeds in the exposed spots. My only worry is that the black weed barrier will roast my plants when it warms up. Thinking of putting some mulch under the plants to help with that.
Here's what I have growing:
12 Tomato Plants (6 Better Boy, 6 Super Fanstastic)
10 Okra
4 Jalapeno's
4 Anahiem peppers
2 Hot Banana
2 Habenero
2 Hot cherry pepper
2 Crook neck squash
1 Zuchini
1 Watermelon
1 Cantaloupe
Never grown a garden by myself before so this is all an experiment. I'm not really a fan of tomatoes but my entire family loves them and I plan to make a bunch of salsa and can it. I wanted to grow things I will actually use.
What do you have growing?
