We will cover up those grocery bags with mulch so that you wont even be able to see that they are there, btw.

Also, if you notice, on the one bed there is a smaller square at the end of it. The boards were not all equal length and I had two that were about 8 1/2 feet so there is an odd square on it. Oh well, it will grow veggies just the same I think.

B check that blueberry bush. Most times you need a second bush of a different species for pollination to actually get blueberries.

I bought one for my mom last year and nothing grew on it, when i bought one for me the lady at the nursery told me i need 2 different ones. so i got ours and a second for mom. We has a ton of blueberries coming in now.

I took a blue water barrel and cut it in half and made a huge pot and planted both mine in. I also have a peach,apple, and strawberry plant in some. Heavy as hell but i can move them when I move.

I did a 4 x16 bed last year, I'll probably stick with around the same size. Less zucchini and chiles, more tomatoes (purple cherokee and roma) and cucumbers (something ate all my cuke seedlings last year - just the goddamn cukes). I'm going to do some mustard greens for my bearded dragon, and my buddy is giving me some hop rhizomes next week. I'm going to clear out the area beneath my two-story deck and run them up that.

I picked up another blueberry plant. Thanks for the advice on that.

Also picked up some onions. Any cool ways to do onions?

I just planted these onions 3-15

These onions are from last year. Didn't yield anything so left them alone and they turned into these monsters. Both pics are from easter. Can't wait to dig these up.
