Today, we picked our first radish and ate it (this was planted at the same time as everything else. As I had said before, I threw a little of everything in there to see what would grow. I CAN say that in sandy soil that all of my beans (and peas!), vines, and corn are doing extremely well. In fact, our soy beans have pods, and our vines are flowering! Our vines are so large, they are taking over the bed!
As they grow out of the marked beds, I move them onto the "grass" where they won't interfere with the other growing plants in the bed.
As our yard is so small and full of weeds, I opted for a weed whacker instead of a lawn mower. After all, it is a rental, so my only interest is in maintaining it as is. I do believe I am going to rake the cuttings, heat them up enough to kill the seeds once it dries, and use it as a groundcover for the next season.
