I really liked your post. I'm in the southern hemisphere so we are in the early-to-middle spring, and I am trying to figure out which plants to have in my new garden for the summer to come, so you gave me a couple of ideas, like having tomatoes, cucumbers, and maybe cherry. I already have Paprika, starting with the basil, and squash.
I hope you could continue sharing your journey through the making of the winter garden, that way I know what to make 3 in my next winter and maybe learn from that too.
¡Regards!
