I recommend doing rows in the dirt. And the best green bean to use is Jade Green Beans. Im telling you what...they are long and crisp and LOTS of them. I had two rows the first year I had my garden and I was giving them away because there were so many:). A plant or two is plenty of tomatoes unless you plan to can them....like my mom and I did this season here. Im excited to start my own garden here next year. Sure did miss not being able to finish my garden in TN....Im guessing the new owners won't garden since they can't hardly mow grass(so I have heard:)).

My grandparents always said growing a garden is more art than science. Especially with tomatoes... by far the hardest plant to grow and successfully harvest.

If it got you off you but and out of doors it was good. I planted 15 blueberry bushes at the end of Summer. Our raspberries are still going and I am looking forward to what they will do next year. The horses next door ate our 12 foot sunflowers, but it is still good. Our tomatoes are for fun and did okay. Cucumbers are too much, onions and green peppers were great. Oh and the beats are also great. Best part is weeding and being out there with the family. A garden is never a bust. If it got you off you but and out of doors it was good.
