Default planning for next year!!

I suppose it's never too early..

We're down to tomatos and peppers after a so-so year in the garden.
Next year everything changes at any rate. This year we shared a garden
with the in-laws on their property. Next year we're gardening in our
yard behind the garage and only maintaining the strawberry patch and
planting corn and green beans at the in-laws. (I'm guessing that my MIL
will probably plant squash as well.) Our yard retains a lot of water
so I'm going to plan on container gardening. I'm almost certain we're
going to try using tired like Pat. We have a great spot that is never
used because it's behind the garage and off to one side and all the way
at the back of the yard so it's basically "perfect". We're going to
pick up some pea gravel to put in between the tires for the "aisles".
I'm thinking that this method will work well for me as I had a lot of
trouble traveling to my IL's house and then weeding, especially when I
hurt my back this year and then followed it up with some horrible tummy
bug. I am thinking that we can put about 16 tires in the area so it
looks something like | || |. The only thing I know for sure right now
is that neither family is going to plant potatoes. We know a few other
families who plant excessive amounts of potatoes and think giving to
them to us is a GREAT idea. So, what is everyone else thinking about,
if anything?
