what are you growing this year?

[lazy gardener]

You might benefit from "The square foot garden". Gardens are very strange pieces of real estate. In the spring, they are too small. In the summer and fall, they are too big, then, as soon as the ground freezes, they again become too small, until summer rolls around again.

I have strawberries, spinach, lettuce, kale, peas, onions, carrots, and chard all growing right now. Summer garden is always the same, tomatoes, okra, green beans, black beans, peppers, squash, and a lot of herbs.

My husband raises fruit trees, I always looking forward to fresh, ripe fruit!

sweet  and hot peppers. and for my first time ghost chili peppers. I want to see if they are as hot as they say.

Yes they are. I would start with habaneros first. I have a few seeds if you want. Plus it took me 2 years to get pods on my ghost.

I have been growing habaneros for years, peppers grow very well in our area, whatever is in the soil they do very well on. Just a few plants gives all we need for a year.
