I turned over one box entirely, added my first batch of homemade compost and planted seeds. The next box was cut back save for a few swiss chard and the eggplant. The swiss chard was getting powdery mildew, so I cut them back almost to the ground. The eggplant is just chugging along making more flowers, so I left it as is. Not sure if they're supposed to be perenials, but in San Diego I think not every plant does what's "normal" for it anyways.
And we planted a new peach (4 kinds on one tree), and a plum (burgundy which was my favorite of the 5-in-one plum I planted last year). I pruned all 4 trees (last years and the new ones) and hope that I did the right thing. To up the odds, I went to a free class at Walter Anderson (which I recommend as it's both a lecture and a chance to ask questions).
