A Good Beginning to a Bountiful Garden - Saint George Court

My garden project just seems to be hitting snags left and right. The first tray of seedlings that couldn't send up a single sprout.  
Finally I got a half dozen in round two.

Then there was the whole cage vs. stake debate.
The sheer cost of making stainless steel cages in a new design was outrageous. And the time it would take; so, I ended up with one inch stakes, eight feet long, from Lowe's garden center. We'll see.

Then there was the arduous task of hauling the two yards (over 3000 pounds) of soil into location. And lots more compost. Backbreaking but necessary.
Done now though.

 As you can see we've started planting! The garden now holds three pepper, nine cucumber, five eggplant, and eleven tomato plants. Also many herbs such as  basil, cilantro and parsley with a front row  of mixed lettuce to pick while the other vegetables grow larger.
