I've had a huge peat type dirt pile that was destined to be for flowers, but just never got around to putting in another bed. Hubby added some top soil to that, mixed it and made my garden with it last weekend. I know. It's getting late. I wanted a simple 8x4 area, put wood sides, make it presentable. I got a 7x 25 long and just there-like a runwaywith sides about a foot high. No wooden sides, so I'll be a weedin' more than I wanted.
I found some greenhouses that still had some veggie plants available and on sale. I had to do some searching. I planted zuchinni-more plants than I wanted!. I couldn't throw the plants away. cucumber, grape toms, musk melon, cauliflower, cherry type and regular hot peppers, and looking for eating toms like a beefsteak or something. Basil too.
I did find some little leaf lettuce seeds which I wished I could've gotten in the ground before all this rain hit. There is hardly any seeds even out there unless for things like pumpkins, corn, which will take a long time for maturity. Theres no herb seeds anywhere's. Hence, why I had to buy basil.
The only thing is next year it will be designed a little better, more user friendly, and I can start early. This year, was just too late. Worth a try though.
