Thought I'd post some of the photos of the newest acquisitions for my garden. It's not the biggest yard in the world but I'm getting smarter on how to use my small space. In preparation of shelving getting installed next weekend, I bought a bunch of plants this weekend. It was about 75 each day so perfect weather for gardening this weekend. I'll

You also should cover the plants if it's under 40.

This year, I'm using earthboxes for most of my veggies so hopefully my plants do much better. I'm really branching out from my tiny garden last year. I didn't get a single pepper off my green pepper plant and my jalapeno barely did anything.
