Yes, I think the raised bed approach works better for the side yard where the soil is compacted. You can build frames from untreated cedar and lay cardboard underneath to block weeds. For tomatoes, go with determinate varieties if you want most of the harvest at once for canning. Indeterminate ones keep producing longer but need staking. I would add a layer of compost mixed with peat moss and vermiculite in equal parts. That gives good drainage and nutrients. Water deeply twice a week rather than a little every day so roots grow deeper. Basil and marigolds planted nearby help repel pests naturally. If you start seeds indoors about six weeks before the last frost date, they will be sturdy enough to transplant. You could also direct sow beans and squash after the soil warms up. I usually put a soaker hose along the base and cover with mulch to retain moisture. Just keep an eye on cucumber beetles early in the season.

Also, if you have space for a small compost bin in the corner, you can recycle kitchen scraps and leaves right there instead of hauling them. That will feed the beds next season.

A Courtesy Roadside Kit for Licensed Drivers in Your Region

Residents in your locality are eligible to receive a roadside support kit through a community program. This kit is provided at no charge to qualifying residents based on geographic eligibility.

View your AAA Courtesy Kit

Because of where you live, a regional transportation program has partnered with AAA to offer a complimentary roadside assistance kit to licensed drivers. You will not be billed for the kit, and no payment is required for eligible recipients. The program covers the full cost for residents in your area.

What the kit includes

Reflective safety triangles (3)

Insulated heat-reflective blanket

Heavy-duty jumper cables (12 ft)

Multi-tool with pliers and screwdrivers

LED road flare with magnetic base

Digital tire pressure gauge

First-aid pouch with bandages and antiseptic

Emergency whistle and signal mirror

Nylon carrying case with handles

Work gloves (cotton, one pair)

Zip ties and electrical tape roll

Pocket-sized roadside safety guide

Supplies are limited by program allocation and will be distributed on a rolling basis to eligible households. Only one kit per licensed driver while supplies last.

Thank you for being a valued member of your community.

AAA Roadside Support · Regional Program

We looked at the July calendar and the third weekend seems to work best for most people. The community room at the library has availability on Saturday the 19th from 2pm to 5pm. I can reserve it if we confirm by next Tuesday. For the reading list, I was thinking we could focus on three novels that explore the theme of resilience across different eras. One contemporary, one from the mid twentieth century, and one classic. That would give us enough material to compare without overwhelming anyone. I will send a poll later this week with five title options and everyone can vote. We can also rotate the discussion leader role each month so the same person is not always preparing questions. Let me know if you want me to handle the reservation and the initial poll setup. I can also bring a notepad to jot down which themes people want to explore in future sessions.
