Our 12x24, IIRC. She’s already harvested a lot and some of it never took or was eaten. We’ve gotten tomatos, cucumbers, green beans, squash, and peppers so far. Think she’s using this year for seeds and next year will go whole hog and actually space out planting the same vegetables so we can get a couple months of produce from them. She's also got broccoli, carrots, asparagus, and a couple other things that bloom late/take over a year to grow. We want to widen it, length-wise, for direct in/on-ground stuff like watermelons, pumpkins, carrots, sunflowers, etc.

She already made bread and butter pickles for us, neighbor, and some family members and they turned out awesome.

You can see how much space there is between the top of the soil and tops of the rows. That was flush when I dumped it all in. :rofl: We used garden soil so it has a bunch of refuse and shit in it. We've pulled out a ton of plastic so I'm going to fill the remainder with black top soil to make everything look nice.

I'd also suggest putting black plastic sheets over the soil, then poking holes where your seeds/plants will be. We've pulled out a ton of weeds and other shit since it's all wide open.

Same, going on 3 weeks I haven't mowed. But I actually almost mowed last week NOT to cut down the grass, but to mulch leaves that are falling. Would've been nice, healthy organic fertilizer for this rain we got this week.

If anyone is interested, I have a Honda mower for sale. I kinda keep forgetting its in my shed, but I could use the space. I will have to get the model number off it, but I know it has electric start, rear bag/mulch. My buddy bought it new, and went electric since his wife let the front at least turn into just weeds... I mean natural. I grabbed it from him, but I had just bought a Honda mower, and I almost never use that one anyway. Shoot me a PM if anyone is interested.

Its an HRR2169VLA, and $200 OBO. Fair warning, its been sitting for a while and with our shit gas I dont know if it will need any TLC.

Hondas are a solid pickup for anyone looking. My HRX ran for over two decades before a ninja stump finally put it out of it’s misery.

Anyone dealing with skunks tearing up their yard? I have a giant skunk that I see on my backyard camera digging small holes looking for food every night. I've looked around for a den and haven't found one. I'm pretty sure it's nesting somewhere in my neighbor's yard.
