Are You Planning a Garden for Next Summer?

To say that the process of having a successful garden was a process would be an understatement. In fact, you have spent some significant time trying to help your now 16 year old daughter successfully produce a garden. The first year her grandfather gave her some tomato plants that he had started in his green house during the winter and spring. Those plants were productive, but the family two week vacation took their tool.
The next summer your daughter convinced your husband to build her a raised garden in the back yard. The fact that you had recently paid to remove a large tree meant that you had one corner of space that was perfect for the raised bed, so your husband agreed. Nearly five hours one weekend and as much as $120 invested, your husband completed the project.
Your daughter was super excited when she came home and found the finished project. She purchased packets of seeds, planted them, labeled the rows, and was more than proud of herself. She did not, however, water these new seeds nearly enough though, so as much as the cute plants stacks looked, nothing really grew. All told, she harvested two radishes. One big enough to eat, the other not. That summer, the neighbor gave your daughter three tomato plants and those again had great success. In fact, clear into the school year, you were able to get tomatoes on a fairly regular basis.
A second planting in the garden that first summer included some sale zucchini plants from a closing plant nursery and various kinds of peppers. And while those plants did pretty well, the birds made a quick meal of these green morsels and that was that.
