Just wondering if any of you guys have experience in this setting.
Do's, don'ts and all in between.
I am hoping to grow tomatoes which I have done before. I also want to grow peppers including jalapeno and bell peppers. Herbs would also be an additional bounty if possible.
I would like to ask you more experienced soil tenders is it possible to do a summer crop and a fall crop like turnips or potatoes?

- Hey YOU!
Thank you for joining! : D
If you are thinking about the back yard...those things you want to grow are all real sun pigs. Or did you find a new spot? You might look for'potato bags' and upside down tomato bags...for small areas.
So glad you joined us!
