This year I will have one each tomato and bell pepper. I kept my 12' long bean trellis, however, and will plant one row of Malibu green pole beans and one row of Christmas limas. I have parsley, basil, sage, and dill weed growing in pots. Some red Romaine lettuce, but it will give out as soon as hot weather gets here.
