Are those bricks from Pat's stash? Looks great
No, they were from various other free locations. I still need to get to Pat’s for another project.
Thanks. The hardest part was getting rid of enough dirt and getting is somewhat level.

Finally planted. Need to run soaker hoses, cages/trellis' and install leaf mulch. Got 2 Extra rows in this year by turning 90* from last years setup.

(18) Various Tomato's - German Giants, Rosalitas, Strawberry Cherries, Rutgers 250s, Virginia Sweets and others that escape me.

(16) Peppers - Poblanos, Jalapeños, Green, Orange, and Red Bells.

(32) White Corn - I think I over watered them last year. Hoping for Better Result

(4) Cucs

(4) Zuccs

And (8) Red onions that grew up from last year I saved.

Extra row in the back cause the lady of the house wants to try planting pumpkins.

Finally finished mulch betwixt the boxes. Also, area just outside the gate used to have mulch that’d get washed away in 60 seconds. Fixed that with an old piece of slate I had under the deck and two bags of red rock.

Nice work on both of your plots and the raised beds. MrsQ suggested upgrading to raised beds this year but decided not to based on the current price of lumber. We have about a dozen 3x8 beds. I'd rather spend the money on a few yards of mushroom dirt.

The lumber prices are back to normal. I think the $9 for a 2x8 didn't seem bad.
