I’ve got about 300sq/ft to plant with, so it’s totally a judgment call at planting week. I’ve got my non-dominate hand carpal tunnel surgery this week, so I’ve been planning on only having these. But if I feel up to it, I’ll plant some straight to ground stuff like peas, radishes and carrots, but I’m expecting thinning to be a pain (pun intended).
None of my neighbors really garden, they’re all just having kids age, so under 4 years old for most of them, mine are 9 and 8. And friends, all have too busy of lives to try and risk the weather gauntlet here.
Last 2 years have had water restrictions as well, so couldn’t legally water with tap water, had to collect rain and hand water. That puts a damper on people’s spirits unfortunately.

I made a 'sub irrigated planter' this year and hooked it up to the downspout. We've only had a couple of rains, but it takes less than a centimeter to fill the planter reservoir. I'm not really a big gardener, so I'm hoping this will take a lot of attention out of the equation. Peppers went in three weeks ago and the first buds are already starting.
