This is my 1st garden in 15 years and with an eye on creating some food income I jumped into it. The garden was started May 3rd when I removed 2 shrubs that had overgrown and then double dug the ground abd removed the roots. I built a 4 x 4 raised bed. Filled the whole thing with compost and potting soil.
Then I added my version of condoculture to the space with some other plantings. Then planted seeds and plants.
This picture is July 20th, about 10 weeks since I started. The garden has come a long way.If I can continue to get the yeild as I have the last 2 weeks adding fresh food (income) even in the condo can be obtained. We are getting 4 yellow squash a day and about 6 pickling cukes. The cherry tomatoes are good but the big boys got some kind of blight. The first of 6 eggplants are ready just waiting to be picked and the arugala and herbs have been super. I think the beans got a late start and the oniions got crowded out. Better planning for next year. The peppers are loaded with flowers, Jalapeno, Cherry and bell. I planted stivia and looking for uses for it , my neighbor steeped the leaves and used it as sugar water for drink. If I could only talk the association into letting me raise chickens.
