Decided to try a raised bed this year. This is as far as I have got so far but hopefully it will produce. In your darkest hour when the demons come, call on me brother and we'll fight them together.

Going to plant my normal stuff... cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers and squash. If I planned correctly I can get 20 plants. That's the same number I did in buckets last year.

I plant Marigolds, herbs and cucumbers inside the bricks. I also added a rain barrel and a rain bird watering system. It works a whole lot better because I’m wetting the base of the plants. My plants looked healthier with less disease. Good luck! Perhaps the law of physics cease to exist on your stove. Were those magic grits?

Ready to start planting now. In your darkest hour when the demons come, call on me brother and we'll fight them together.

I use organic hay for mulch so I dont have any weeds. I also put up metal t-posts on the 4 corners & ran a wire around the posts to help support the stalks during strong winds. I have used the square foot method in my boxes for many other veggies also. Works great. Good luck. 🌽 "To you, Sons of Confederate Veterans, we will commit the vindication of the cause for which we fought.

Tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, zucchini, assorted peppers, a few okra and a few corn seeds. Got some herbs and marigolds left to plant.
