You posted twice. I deleted the extra.

Well, if SS is unreasonable, I haven't touched the money yet.

I wish you luck with your garden.

Thee "plot" is about 4'x8', and raised slightly (the frame is single 2x4s or 2x6s).

The raised bed is basically a galvanized watering trough filled with dirt (I bet the price at farm stores is a lot lower than at gardening centers :-). It's about 1.5' x 6'

I'll mostly be doing the trough because I don't get up from the ground very well anymore. Fay will be doing most of the plot. Though we'll each have stuff in both places. Mostly because of lack of room in the trough.

I had to point out that zucchini would pretty much take it over, for example. And I may wind up planting the ground cherry in the plot.

We are lucky one way. most common weeds in the plot are plantain (the herb, not the pseudo banana) and dandelion. Both of which are quite edible.

So we just harvest the leaves as we need to clear spots. Though after 2015, I learned to not let the plantain get too big as the leaves get tough then.

If I can figure out why screen cap quit working, I can post an overhead shot of the garden areas. Google maps has some decent imagery of the apartments.
