I never even thought about that. This year I got started late and it was really just an experiment for my first time so I'd know what to do next year (and also if I got anything this year I figured that was just a bonus).

Now that I have figured out how to do the irrigation (about 40 bucks worth of stuff from Lowes - and the biggest part of that was the timer) I can plan it out better next year and make some raised beds and maybe get some big clay pots....
