your garden is doing great. I never thought about planting peanuts, that's neat. What else do you have planted heather?

we have swanlake melon, some other cantelope, banana melon,
squash: delicata, crooked neck, zuchini, patty pan,
radishes, onions, lettuce, runner beans, lima beans, okra, cucumbers, watermelon, brocolli, (packman) cauliflower, cabbage, brussels, tomatoes, 3 kinds I think, spinach, artichokes I think thatl's it, one of my biggest gardens yet, I don't think we'll have much next year other than a few tomatoes onion, lettuce radishes type thing, planning a huge vacation next year. long vacations and big gardens don't do well together LOL
Cantalope , honeydew, pumpkins (baby boo, Jack be little and a carver) watermelon, tomatos, pepper (sweet, hot , and OMW!) Strawberries, bottlegourds, brussles sprouts (falstaff - purple ones and dutch treat), corn, lettuce, radish, 8 ball zuccinni, the corn, taters, peanuts, broccoli, garlic, beans
Wow-- there is more in there than I thought.... LOL!!!
Oh yeah -- a pair of pet bunnies too.
Heather
oh you can use their fertilizer LOL. sounds like a nice garden, I bet those purple brussels are good, I always plant the plants in brussels not the seeds. I'd have to do seed s for the purple ones, don't know if I could get them to grow right, they'd be something to grow in a grow box outside, with a top on it. in the early spring time, I might think of that next year.
Everything looks great, Heather!
Is that FIVE rows of corn you've got there? Making me hungry :-)
Love your raised beds, and potatoes in tires. I did mine in tires, but only put three in each, and only one is up so far. How many did you put in yours? They look very healthy and bushy!
LOL!! I don't actually know how many taters -- the kids planted them - and they are rather entusastic sooo probably too many. They are ready for thier second tire- I have to go the the shop tomorrow and get a couple more. Yes 5 rows ( I know they are wayyy close but I have limited space and they did fine last year...) Next year hopefully where the corn bed is this year will be a small green house I will just move the corn bed over.

I read that potatoes do well following corn, so maybe other nightshades would as well. Looks like a prime spot for peppers and eggplants to me! But a greenhouse sounds even BETTER!
If your soil is great, they aren't too close. Just don't give them too much nitrogen, or they will leaf out and crowd one another. I found out the hard way last year, too much stalk = less sunshine, less air circulation, more problems...
