Well, my beets finally started to grow. The chard is not happening and I think I will just pull them out. Peppers are slow in growing but they look healthy, so who knows.
I already have learned a few things that I will do different next time. I wont companion plant, each box will be its own. I will also have a better seed plan - not starting them as early or at the same time like I did this year.
Tomatoes and carrots
Beets and radishes
Brocolli
Brusell Sprouts
Peppers, with a couple extra tomatoes in there
Sunflowers
And some randoms
The asparagus will take a few years so I tossed in a brussel sprout in that box for the hell of it

I have to weedwhip that grass out of there at some point. I would like to mulch it, but funds are low for this thing as of now. Maybe next year.
There are some moles down there too so Im going to have my old man show me how to set the traps for them.

It just doesnt seem to be all that beneficial. What I think will work better is this. Take a 2x4 box. The first week plant the first two squares that are side by side. One week later, the next, and the next, and the next. Make sense?
This stuff is already so close to begin with and I think having a staggered planting scheme within one box would be easier to track and possible better on the soil.
I also do not think I will do tomatoes or peppers in the boxes next year. I am going to fill cloth shopping bags with potting soil, bury them, and plant the tomatoes/peppers in them. Thats what I did with the sunflowers and look at them.

Here are some updated pics.
Tomatoes are really taking off
Carrots too
My beets haz a sad
Chard is pathetic too
The broc is solid
B sprouts lookin good
Peppers are hit and miss, some are blooming, others are pretty weak, time will tell, couple extra tomaters in there too
Sunflowers are on steroids, these are planted in cloth shopping bags, btw
Its all in all not looking bad, weeds are minimal, just hands down the best way to garden overall from what I can tell
