My daughter bought me a 2'x4' planter. Looking like we'll have squash and sweet potatoes. Exciting stuff.

Total rookie. Started very late. Filled the planter with miracle grow soil (on sale because June in Az) and overplanted the hell out of it with any seed that looked like it might make it. Whole packets of .. - jalapenos - none - peppers - none - beets - looking like none - carrots - don't think so - butternut squash is thriving and I'm pruning overlapping leaves between plants - one sprouty end of a sweet potato is giving the squash hell on the East side of the planter

Don't judge. I'll read the instructions next time. Probably going to need squash recipes soon.

No squash bugs in the desert so far.

I'm excited for the sweet potato and I hope the miracle grow soil isn't too much. I didn't read the instructions, I don't know if I should have blended that with soil, but I used it straight.

Sweet potato foliage will work down the nitrogen, I imagine. I'll keep at that if no tubors.
