We learn more every year. This will hopefully be the year we gat harvestable beet and radish greens. Over time we've had cucumbers, rfishes, carrots, shallots, onions, cabbage, broccoli, beets, lettuce greens, herbs, tomatoes, strawberries, currants, squash, kale, cauliflower, and potatoes. We're considering doing the front yard too so that we can grow more fruit in the south facing areas. In Bend, OR we have a super short season and we've been learning our land. Yes we garden.

So far I have gotten some peppers and squash and hopefully tomatoes and melons will be coming soon also.

I've tried it and it's actually a bit better and a whole lot less expensive! They hold about a gallon and a half more water. Check it out at http://www.agardenpatch.com Happy Gardening!

We did corn and got a few so sweet and tender raw; then the squirrels destroyed them. Then the 100+ temperatures for three weeks straight pretty much did in everything that was in raised beds because, I'm learning, it's too hot here in the summer for raised beds. Thanks for keeping your shows interesting and relavant. More gardening stuff would be great, because so many of us are trying to grow our own.

Some of the best tomatoes and most awesome peppers we've ever eaten, though! Slowly working up enthusiasm to try again. I tried once, but it was 12 miles from the house and I had to haul water to it.
