I had great luck with Tomatoes ..Peppers and Green beans - they don't take long and you get delicious veggies on your plate every night when they come in. Can't help you on the other stuff because I'm no gardner
but I really enjoyed my veggie garden. This year is was just too much work -
the girls loved running thru the plants so I put a little fence up...but have since taken it down (see 1st picture)
The 2nd pic is the Beans and tomatoes and peppers full grown ...and Miss Chanel tryin to be sneaky and get in there to do her BEAN STOMP
3rd pic is me trying to scare off Birds with Monkey-Crow...they LOVE tomatos and it really worked but drove the girls a bit nuts
