Probably too late but what have I got to lose&#8230;worth a try.<\/li>\n<li>I put the tomatoes in the row where the Swiss Chard never materialized. Same idea as the onion seedlings above. The tomato seedlings were sitting there. It might have been too late but they&#8217;re not going to do anything in the little pots. As soon as they were planted they took off growing like a SOB. So I have some hope. \ud83d\ude42<\/li>\n<li>Same story with the peppers as the tomatoes. I put them where the beets never grew. They didn&#8217;t take off like the tomatoes did but they are growing. I also planted the tiny-as-usual Habanero plants in the bathtub garden, in front of some Ghost Pepper plants I bought.<\/li>\n<li>I did plant a few squash varieties (summer because they&#8217;re faster). Two varieties (I didn&#8217;t label them) are just starting to poke out of the ground so I don&#8217;t hold out much hope for squash.

It&#8217;s mainly my health that&#8217;s the problem now. When I started this blog, I didn&#8217;t have the money and resources to solve the problems that come along with establishing a new garden. Now I&#8217;ve been able to fix situations and make the garden less impossible! I mean I did have health issues back then too but not as many&#8230;I guess&#8230;or as bad maybe&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;which got me thinking. Besides trying to get my body back in shape, I need to gear the garden toward much easier upkeep. I have been working on that a little at a time for a couple seasons but it&#8217;s time to step it up. More raised beds, more perennials, more helpful tools, more HELP!, etc.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1128\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1128\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.darkskywv.net\/waynes_impossible\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/lr-10.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1128\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/www.darkskywv.net\/waynes_impossible\/this-impossible-life\/blog-needs-a-new-name-and-mid-july-update\/attachment\/lr-10\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.darkskywv.net\/waynes_impossible\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/lr-10.jpg?fit=1280%2C960\" data-orig-size=\"1280,960\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;LM-Q710(FGN)&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1531829459&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;3.519&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;50&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0032258064516129&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"lr-10\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.darkskywv.net\/waynes_impossible\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/lr-10.jpg?fit=400%2C300\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.darkskywv.net\/waynes_impossible\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/lr-10.jpg?fit=800%2C600\" class=\"wp-image-1128 size-medium\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.darkskywv.net\/waynes_impossible\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/lr-10.jpg?resize=400%2C300\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.darkskywv.net\/waynes_impossible\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/lr-10.jpg?resize=400%2C300 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.darkskywv.net\/waynes_impossible\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/lr-10.jpg?resize=768%2C576 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.darkskywv.net\/waynes_impossible\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/lr-10.jpg?resize=1024%2C768 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.darkskywv.net\/waynes_impossible\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/lr-10.jpg?w=1280 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1128\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Hugel-Bathtub garden, with volunteer violets and other weeds, garlic, blueberries, Ghost Peppers, Habaneros, Marigolds, and off-camera, Sunflowers.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1134\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1134\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.darkskywv.net\/waynes_impossible\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/lr-18.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1134\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/www.darkskywv.net\/waynes_impossible\/this-impossible-life\/blog-needs-a-new-name-and-mid-july-update\/attachment\/lr-18\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.darkskywv.net\/waynes_impossible\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/lr-18.jpg?fit=960%2C1280\" data-orig-size=\"960,1280\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;LM-Q710(FGN)&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1530541125&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;3.519&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;50&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0015625&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"lr-18\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.darkskywv.net\/waynes_impossible\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/lr-18.jpg?fit=300%2C400\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.darkskywv.net\/waynes_impossible\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/lr-18.jpg?fit=768%2C1024\" class=\"wp-image-1134 size-medium\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.darkskywv.net\/waynes_impossible\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/lr-18.jpg?resize=300%2C400\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.darkskywv.net\/waynes_impossible\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/lr-18.jpg?resize=300%2C400 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.darkskywv.net\/waynes_impossible\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/lr-18.jpg?resize=768%2C1024 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.darkskywv.net\/waynes_impossible\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/lr-18.jpg?w=960 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1134\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lettuce in the white planter made for some nice salads.
