I ended up making the place a garden after we regraded due to how long it took us with all the rain we had this year.I needed a place fast for my plants so instead of a raised bed this are became a garden. Well, that is less lawn to mow. Note the pots in the ground, I am experimenting with deep watering. A woman at the community garden uses this method and her tomatoes are thick strong and huge with earlier tomatoes than the rest of us.

The before and after of the berry and community area of my garden.  I am trying to take out as much lawn as possible so I made this side area a berry and community area. I have tomotoes, peppers, eggplant, cabbage, tomatillo, lettuce, upside down tomatoes, hanging cucumbers, strawberries and several types of raspberries. The kids just loved picking, washing and eating strawberries today on this 100 degree day.

The Egyptian onions doing their thing. They should be ready in the next few weeks to harvest, but I just love the show on the the scapes.

A three sisters bed, but I think I planted the corn too late.
