2026 plans:
what i learned from last year:
no more fucking tomatoes seriously you planted too many tomatoes it was crazy. do NOT do that again. keep it to a polite number of plants. less than 5 will give you plenty
the tomatoes will only ripen once the cucumbers have died. you will not have any delicious tomato and cucumber meals. sorry
cantaloupes did not work out
peppers failed again. might just be fucked when it comes to peppers
this year, i'm gonna keep it simple with my tried and true plants. green beans, green onions, cucumbers, tomatoes. i also have a few crops i've tried before and got okay, but generally unimpressive results with (radishes and peas). my lettuce got fried to hell during a heat wave last year, but hopefully this year is better. hopefully, round 2 will be much kinder to all of these plants.

3/23/2026: i got a good amount of planting done last week. i have everything in the little cardboard cups that dissolve when you bury them. i also got my new compost bin set up fuck yesssss. all my beds have been cleared out... next time i go grocery shopping, i'll start picking up some fertilizer and such and start turning them in preparation for my 2026 garden. exciting things are happening. i missed this.
as for my decorative plants... fuck if i know. i have another spot cleared out for flowers, but perennials are just so fucking expensive, and i've not had any luck growing flowers from seed. i just don't know...
