Here it is, in all it's.. um... non-glory:
Of course, I'll be doing tomatoes and peppers and perhaps some squash/cucumber/etc, but I don't want to start things from seeds this year (well, I kinda want to, but I won't), so I'll just buy those at the local greenhouse when planting time is nigh. We've bought the lumber for two 4'x8' boxes - one 12" deep for the 'taters and carrots -- and yes, two large plywood pieces to make floors so the Evil Weed won't have access. Just how far will I go to have a garden without it? I guess we'll find out.

Exciting! Looks like you're going to have some interesting produce. And a TON of lettuce!! That was me last year... this year I am only growing my favorite, Romaine lettuce, because last year was ridiculous.
Sweet Basil is definitely the herb we use the most. We ended up buying a plant last year, but we're trying starting them from seeds again this year.
We had Johnny Jump Ups in our yard growing up! I love those things!
Abbreviated pregnancy gardening??? That list wore me out just reading it! Sheesh, I was getting excited about my little tomatoes and peppers this year. ;-) I'll just have to read about your gardening successes
(mutants...) and dream!
