Other than the usual we are also growing this year beef tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, a huge variety of different herbs and a huge variety of hot peppers. We absolutely love hot food, and are going to try making our very own hot sauce. We have seeds for two hot peppers already, they are hot habanero and skinny hot chili peppers.

So for the soil: the plot is 16' X 9', I will be adding 8sqft of peet, 80lbs of dehydrated manure and 120lbs of compost blend with bat guano and worm casting. the whole project will be organic.

Daisys are my favorite.
