Raised Square Foot Gardening - Atlanta, GA, May 19th, 2011

🌱 Rob has cultivated a garden for three years, and this year's garden is his most successful with the addition of new trellises.

🥕 He has faced challenges due to the size of his raised beds, which are difficult to manage, especially when accessing the middle sections.

🍅 Various types of plants are thriving in his garden, including Early Girl and Sweet Million tomatoes, along with different varieties of beans.

🌼 Alongside vegetables, Rob also cultivates flowers such as Mammoth Russian sunflowers and Autumn Beauties, enhancing the biodiversity in his garden.

🍉 An interesting change in plans occurred when Rob realized the watermelon variety he planted would grow too heavy for trellis support, prompting him to let them grow on the ground instead.

🐇 Rob is dealing with a garden pest that is sabotaging his carrots, and he's uncertain if it's a mole, rabbit, squirrel, or chipmunk.

🌶 A diverse selection of peppers is growing in his garden, including green, New Mexican, jalapeño, Tabasco, serrano, and sweet banana peppers.

🍆 Additional plants in his garden include eggplants, zucchini, wildflowers, and multiple tomato variants like Lemon Cherry and First Prize tomatoes.

🌿 The health of his garden plants varies; some show signs of potential fungal infections, while others are impacted by critters.

🌻 Rob utilizes creative solutions for his garden, such as repurposing an old railing as a trellis, and he welcomes feedback and comments on his gardening journey.
