Same here. Our very first organic garden.

Lettuce
Tomatoes
Peppers
Various Herbs
Cucs
Broccoli
Green Beans
Watermelon
Blueberries
Strawberries

DH just built a mobile planter/wagon the other day; and we transported some of them. I'm skeptical on planting them in the ground b/c there are so many animals by us. I may do a few and see what lasts and what gets "picked on'.

I'm hoping for some success. LOL

Good Luck! Yeah one of my strawberry plants was already poked at. I am getting some chicen wire this weekend to lay over the top. Hoping that deters the little critters.

Very cool. I am using 4x4 raised beds, I have 2 of them, so not all that much space but I am already planning to add at least 1 next year. Enjoy your goodies.

Blueberries are easy! It takes a few years to get a good crop, but we just started with two bushes of different varieties so they cross pollinate and they are pretty self-sufficient.
