It happened later than I wanted, but feels good to get the garden planted this year. 

8 tomatoes

4 corn

8 green beans (new this year!)

2 cantaloupe 

2 watermelon

1 eggplant

4 bell peppers

3 peppers

1 zucchini (next to the fence)

16 marigolds (to add color and divert bugs)

I have the comments to convert to a drip system, but haven't had time to do that yet.  I'll need to get this in before the plants get too big. 

Also planted 6 herbs in the wine barrel, 2 herbs in the planter below the barrel, 5 herbs in mini-pots, and 20 seeded veggies (5 plants, 4 of each).

The article is about surrounding yourself with those you want to emulate. 

"You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with." - Jim Rohn

Three essential people in your life at all times. 

1 - A person who is older than you and more successful to learn from

2 - A person who is equal with you to share ideas with

3 - A person below you to coach and keep you energized
