Garden

Three 3x6 raised beds and eight pots in a flat area I dug out at the back of the yard. Herbs go in the pots, everything else goes in the beds.

The bigger plan is to terrace the yard into two tiers — garden, gazebo, and a zen area all on the lower tier.

2025

Last year was ambitious. Grew tomatoes, lettuce, green/orange/red bell peppers, and a bunch of hot peppers — ghost, habanero, serrano, jalapeño, and a few others I don’t remember. Tried onions and garlic but neither worked out. The herbs grew so fast they bolted before I could do much with them.

Everything actually grew really well. The problem was I hadn’t figured out how or when to harvest any of it, so a lot of things went bad on the plant. Learned a lot just from watching it happen.

2026

Going with fewer plants this year. The main goal is to harvest more frequently and actually get to eat the stuff I grow.
