Had a very late start this year, but, should actually work in my favor because weather in my part of coastal southern california remains good until about Thanksgiving, so I'm hoping for a longer season. Additionally, this year we seem to have much more sun than last, not as much may gray and june gloom.
Last year, despite all the work, everything turned out AWFUL, even the in-ground stuff at the parental units' house that I worked so hard for. This year I'm skipping their house and letting the parents do what they want.
At my house, I'm giving the rain-gutter self-watering system a try. Ignore the pipes sticking out in the background buckets, those are there because they were originally double buckets while I build the rain gutter supports, and I didn't want to mess up the roots. So far there are 5 cucumbers, 3 calabrian peppers from last year, and 10 tomatoes. I still have 16 more to plant out - mixture of peppers and eggplants. Not sure where they will go.
I also have to finish the string trellis system for these, I've got a few weeks time to do that. Fun stuff!
