Well, I've been doing the garden in short bursts to keep from burning out, and I finally have the whole square-foot plot planted. I'll take pictures soon, but here's what I have planted:
| rainbow chard? | violet queen cauliflower | lettuce | rainbow bush beans |
| rainbow chard? | violet queen cauliflower | violet queen cauliflower | rainbow bush beans |
| red carrots | red carrots | momotaro tomatoes | fino verde basil |
| yellow onions | strawberries | beets | beets |
I only planted one tomato plant this year. I know tomatoes won't do all that well in my plot because of all the shade, but I can't seem to let go of the need to have fresh tomatoes. Maybe I'll plant some more in containers in

stonebender's back yard (with his permission, of course) and see if they can handle only being tended once a week.The "rainbow chard?" is because I planted some seeds that had spilled in my seed box, and I *think* they're chard, but I don't know for sure.
Oh, and since the last time I was there, there are suddenly leaves on the apple tree!

Burnout is a huge risk for me right now, so it's very good to hear you talking about taking it in small bits. Sounds like you have a lovely, tasty garden.
If you want, i will share broccoli rabe with you when it is ready. Like broccoli but grows faster and is already naturally peppery flavored.
Holler if you want some...

I happen to have one that's three feet by three feet square and supports four inverted plants but it's the same general idea.
