    Yes herbs go a long way. Most of them keep growing leaves and you can use them all year.

    They grow very well in NJ but I can only really use one plant. I may get that one plant this weekend. The problem is that I just don't like raw tomatoes. I like to add chopped tomato to chili and I could make a sauce from scratch but beyond that I'm stumped. I'd be giving them away.

    Yeah, I didn't realize that. They are growing faster than I can consume them. lol

    SO I'm walking around the nursery trying to figure out what I want to fill up the garden and I settled on cherry tomatoes at your suggestion. Grabbed a bonny bell pepper plant too.

    I'm getting ready to put in a 20 foot on each side square, gotta till the "soil" and add dolomite and some other stuff to this good old FL "soil" lol

    My Father is going to get me set up, he knows all the math and everything, he even calculates the rate of flow from the hose and knows how long to let it run for the given square Footage. He has a Masters degree in animal science and was a horticulture teacher, among other things. Not sure what we are planting yet, to hot at night for good tomato growth right now. I'm sure beans will be a featured item.

    We got everything planted now. Peas, beans, carrots, onions, potatoes, corn, radishes, a few tomatoes and beets.
    In between the rows, for weed control we put down cardboard and covered it with straw. I’ll just till it in when it decomposes in the late fall.

    I tilled in some mushroom compost as soon as we got back from Arizona. I planted onions and potatoes then. They took off like mad. I might harvest them in a month and plant more.

    I also mixed artichokes in with landscaping plants in the yard. They look good and they producing dozens of artichokes.

    Oh. We planted cucumbers too to make dill pickles. But only about 20 plants.

    We’ll see. Last year we didn’t do do well. I had our soil analyzed by the university of Washington and they said it’s fine as is for vegetable gardening.

    We only got about 10 quart jars of pickles last year. I’m hoping for three times that this year.

    things go in cycles. I think last year war just a bad year
