Sorry about your iris rotting. I can's find mine for the grass.
You do know the burgundy beans turn green when cooked, right? Sure wish they would stay purple! But they're fun anyway.
If you do decide to plant peppers and maybe beans in the ground it might be a good idea to think about a rotation schedule so you're not planting the same thing in the same place year after year. I'm just saying...I know you are short of space.
No garden work for me today. I helped DH set up market. Best Wednesday market ever! Women fighting over Stump of the World tomatoes. Well, not really but one woman came and raved about them. She bought some on Saturday. She scooped in front of a woman contemplating buying and picked up the four largest ones (they're a big tomato). So the lady contemplating bought whatever was left! Sold all the tomatoes!
Next year I have decided to grow five main variety of tomatoes and alternate a green, yellow and cherry. Stump of the World is on the list! It is a great tomato. A pink heirloom.
Tomorrow I am staying home to catch up on chores here. Ugh, so far behind! Maybe I can get an early start because I sure seem to run out of steam quickly anymore.
