Radishes. Another food I hated as a kid. I was very reluctant to plant some. They came up very quick and tasted wonderful. Just add butter, vinegar and salt.
Pumpkins competing with squash. I didn’t follow the directions and use a 3′ by 3′ space. Typical rookie mistake. I think next year I’ll isolate squash and melons to special 2′ by 2′ beds that I’m planning in another location of the yard. They are huge vegetables and the small bed would allow them to overflow into the surrounding grass.
I ripped up the peppers and onions after about 90 days of nothing. I didn’t have them in a truly sunny spot. I put down some beats and snap peas in their place.
