I did the 4 foot sq. gardening thing this year. I had two.

Peppers: bell, jalapeno, banana

Tomatoes: eight plants - early girl, big boy and a hybrid

Then in a mound of soil and leaves I planted 2 zucchini and 2 cucumber ... good eatin' and plenty to give to my neighbors.

Nothing like walking out the back door and picking a couple vine ripe tomatoes and a cucumber for a salad ... a couple of zucchini, a few jalapeno (to grill).

There ya go!

Ground temp in Seattle this year never got up very much, so my garden was weak.

But I still have lots of onions and lettuce. Cabbage too. The cold weather crops.

Cabbage is another superstar. Lots of antioxidants, and can be used alot of different ways when you cook.

Not to mention I think it would take a gallon of Roundup and a flamethrower to kill a cabbage plant!
