Oh man, that is the garden of my dreams! We have a tiny tiny back yard, so all my edibles are just confined to a small 5x5 raised bed.
Tomato still hasn't started coming in. Flowers yes, but no fruit coming in. Same with the lime and lemons (they had fruit last year). So far I put in eggplant (something ate all the leaves the first few days, but it's coming back), shis**to pepper (same with the leaves
), some basil, oregano, jalepeno, and cucumber. All seem to be growing very very slow.
I started some chinese long beans indoors a few weeks ago and they were so tall and happy. I put them outside and within a few hours were wilted and shriveled up. Only thing that seems to do well is lemongrass and mint. Which is fine bc I cook a lot of southeast asian food, but I wish the others would grow.
What do you do about pests? I don't want to have to use pesticides. I have a bird feeder out now, and I see birds (doves and pigeons) everyday outside. Hoping they will patrol my tiny garden.
