I bought a house recently, that sits on a small plot of land.

I've spent the entire spring and early summer making the gardens suitable for planting. I planted vegetables out back, some gradually blooming ornamentals out front, I still have one bare garden!

Currently the space is 7 ft long x 2.8 ft wide. It gets full sun, and has surprisingly rich soil. The area was considered a zone 6 in the 1990's but is now classified as as a zone 7. The garden runs along the sidewalk, and would be perfect for some sort of "barrier" hedge.

What would you plant?

P.S. if anybody has experience with grapes, please let me know! I inherited two very healthy vines and would appreciate your advice.

Wow, excellent suggestion!

It's practical, and the peppers have a nice color. There is a place nearby who has a giant "hot pepper" selection.

I'm guessing they don't mind full sun?

They grow best in full sun with rich soil. Just make sure they have enough water and have already been hardened when you buy them, or they can wilt. Once they grow larger it won't matter. They do tend to need a stake when they get taller.

They grow in the deserts of Mexico natively, so no. They're also incredibly pest and disease hardy. Some birds might have a taste for them though, depending on the strain you plant
