We have been at it hard. By we I mean my kids that thought they getting a month spring break
.
Two varieties of sweet corn. Thought we had bad germination rate till I found the coon prints.....
We have okra, squash, zucchini 4-5 tomatoes, sweet peppers and hot peppers.
Rattle snake pole beans which seem to grow like freaking weeds. Think we might have over planted them.
Pickling cucumbers
Watermelon .
More importantly we grew some big smiles and good times!

I also use the hill to put my drip tape in. Water only the plants i want not the weeds.

My grandparents were staunch row gardeners and tillers. I did not have the same success that they did when I spent several years doing it. Then I remembered my grandpa out there with his ghostbuster backpack on nuking the gardens with all kinds of supplements and chemicals or using his tractor sprayer. .....then it clicked the difference. They both suffered from many health issues before passing. I will stick to the no till organic methods.

A couple questions for the pros here. First, is there a halfway decent drip system that Amazon or anyone else offers that is good for a small garden on 15-20 plants? Second, what are y'alls favorite plants for spring/summer that produce good yield and is something that people actually eat for sustenance (i.e. broccoli, cauliflower, greens, squash, etc.)

Have any of you guys ever seen Leon Sloan on youtube? I met him last year at his huge greenhouse/gardening center in Kingston Ok. He got me into using syrup tubs for my plants. The tubs are made up so they hold a reservoir of water. He also got me into using 55 gallon food grade barrels to grow using the hydroponic method. This man is a wealth of gardening knowledge. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSD..._BlLuWSiEr7TJQ

Honestly the only thing that has kept me from doing container gardening is the appearance. Not the most prettiest thing to have my beautiful backyard full of orange, white , blue five gallon buckets.

I compost hay along with my kitchen scraps. Add a few yards of turkey litter. You can get a lot of good material from looney litter outside of gonzales. Been using them for years. yes it is hot but that helps get the compost cooking. For the area i am gardening i need a lot of it so cant buy it by the bag or local landscape company.
