At 9:50pm on December 15, 2011, Bob Billings said…: We grow in raised beds using the square foot gardening method. Tomatoes, bell peppers, hot peppers, okra, beans, peas, lettuce, chives, onions, blue berries, squash, cabbage, cucumbers, asparagus and herbs off all kinds just to name a few items. Our garden is completely organic which makes us com-posters to the tenth degree. We use companion planting to help ward of pest and hand pick the rest. Best luck with your gardening, enjoy.
