It's been a few months since we built a couple of raised beds at the front of our yard. Our approach to growing vegetables this year has been a case of plant a bunch of stuff and see what happens. We suffered a little bit from predators early doors, but by the end of June, there was plenty going on in both beds:
By the middle of July, we really were in business
The first harvest was radishes and leeks (we didn't eat them together...)
Fast forward to the end of August, and the pumpkin crop was approaching harvest. Clearly we planted them too early....
I counted seven (7) really big pumpkins, although only two of them were actually growing inside the raised bed.

We didn't get around to thinning out the plants once they had got going, so most of the onions and leeks grew in clumps.
Labor Day harvest, September 2, 2019: One pumpkin, one water melon, one bell pepper, and one white onion (no partridge or pear tree).
