Planted a dozen each of peppers, tomatoes, and Brussel sprouts. Some Taylor horticulture green beans and an assortment of cabbage, squash and cucumber.

There is a Japanese grocery store near me. I'm unsure what the difference is with seeds from near me but am interested in trying one of each to find out.

I am done too, at least with the veggie/fruit part. When I ran out of raised bed space I started prepping other spots. Totaled up to 27 different varieties at the end. I'd recommend getting some strawberries and planting them with your tomatoes. It's a great companion plant and they spread like weeds. The 5 I planted last year are already over 30 and some are nearly 1 ft tall bushes, really impressed

We have strawberry and blackberry from planting a few years ago, and it look slike this may be my first year actually getting grapes as well.

It is always rewarding seeing the literal fruits of your labour.

I know what you mean, that's why I couldn't stop. Everyone asks me "what if the animals get to it before you" and I answer as long as someone enjoyed it

We haven't yet, but we also have a very small sunny section of the yard, so it's not very motivating to plant only a half dozen plants!

When I lived in an apartment, we did balcony heirloom tomatoes. Once you get some of the tomatoes you can't buy in the store, even a few plants are well worth it.
