not corn - last year we had a massive colony of sugar ants farming aphids on our corn - fascinating - but also very gross
Sunflowers with morning glories climbing up and between them was a nive flower combo last year -
July's not a bad time to be away - possible to time it post established growth, pre-harvest, and not as dry as August...
We'll do zuccini, summer squash, tomatoes, peas, and beans for sure - want to do some greens, but I think I need those in pots on the patio...lots of herbs (especially basil - we made and froze pesto last summer)
Of course, I still need to turn the whole garden over and buy seeds...
I love sunflowers and I love morning glories... so that's a win. I keep threatening to forget about the veg gardens and turn them into flower beds... maybe this the year I cave.
I am hoping that my dad will bring his loaner-tiller over and take care of turning the garden.
I started planting trees last year, and I've continued this year. I now have five apple trees and two peach trees growing in the front and side yard. Here's hoping I get some edible fruit this year. :)
I'll be so happy just to see grass growing. Maybe just maybe a raised bed for zuchini and cucumber and tomato and basil, but mostly I just want to see grass.

I turned my yard into a miniature orchard.
