I had very bad luck with my tomatoes last year, since the area where I normally grow them is small and rotation was impossible. They developed a desease that caused the plant to die from the bottom up. This year, since my artichokes (shown in the picture) did not survive the winter, I decided to plant the central area of the raised bed with tomatoes. Yesterday I bought (from HD) a celebrity, a big boy, a better boy, a park's whopper, a beefsteak and a big beef plants and transplanted them to the raised bed. On one side of the bed I have texas 1015 onions and on the other I have leaf brocoli.

I like your backyard. Do you have enough room to grow everything you mentioned? :-)

So far. As the trees mature (most are small varieties), they will be rather packed in and the grass will probably recede. This year I have a few apricots, a few plums, a few asian pears, persimmons, cherries, strawberries, raspberries and blueberries. It looks like I also should get some hardy kiwis, but it is too early to be sure.
