Veggie Bed Coming Along Nicely!

We started working on our veggie bed during the first week of March. We added six bags of Mushroom Compost and six bags of cow manure and tilled the bed with a home tiller (Thanks to our friend who let us borrow his tiller)
I used six bags of Cypress Mulch to prevent weeds and to retain moisture in the soil.


Our raised-bed vegetable garden now has the following plants:

Tomatoes
Big Boy Hybrid
Sweet 100 Hybrid Cherry Tomato
Roma
Yellow Plum (new this year)

Peppers
Habanera (Both plants did very well last year-yielded hundreds of pepper)
Cayenne (new this year)
Jalapeno (Did very well last year)
Bell Pepper Green Sweet Hybrid (Abundant peppers last year)

Egg Plants (they did OK last year, I am going to pay a special attention this year)
Ichiban
Fairytale
White
Classic Purple Black

Cabbage (new this year)


Onions and garlic (new this year)
Spanish Peanuts (new this year)

Herbs
Curry Leaf (in several pots, waiting for new homes)
Cilantro (it is a jungle out there!!!)

On the trellis (Vines)
Pencil Pod Black Wax Bean (new this year)

Tindora (Indian veggie- Lush foliage although yield was not proportionate)

On their way:
I have Bitter Guard, Snake Guard, and Okra still in pots. They recently sprouted from seeds and hopefully will reach their permanent homes this weekend (subject to weather and husband co-operating)
