I had this flower bed area. Actually it was a tall bearded iris bed. But the iris just were not doing well there. I lost most of them to rotting over the winter. So I decided to convert the area back into a veggie bed. It actually used to be part of a veggie bed before I converted it to iris!
So I dug out and relocated any healthy iris and tossed out the rotters. Now I have this four foot wide section. Forgot to measure how long it is.
Then I mulched it with straw and put out some bamboo stakes at the side to measure out where I intend to be having rows of pepper plants next year. And I have two green fence post stakes to show where I intend to add two more cucumber trellis. You really need to enlarge the pictures to see them.
For now I just have some root veggies planted in there and will use it for whatever I plant for the fall. But next spring I will have a nice place to plant my peppers instead of having them stuck here and there all around the garden. And I will have space for the more cucumbers I want to grow.
