Here we are! I had big plans to expand this year, but it will have to wait. We are moving in a couple months so all of this will be taken with us as intact as possible. The raised bed(96 sqft) is going to be traded in for about 2000 sqft of in ground planting space at the new house. Super excited!
For now, we've got 12 tomatoes (8 varieties ), about 125 onions, and a bunch of last years lettuce/beans/peas seeds scattered throughout. Picked up a couple more fruit trees and blueberry bushes to try and out pace my toddlers ever growing fruit bill.

WOW!!!! That looks amazing! What a gorgeous garden.
I hope your move goes smoothly and your new garden is just as lush and productive. I can’t wait to see what you do with 2000 sq ft! 😍 Sounds dreamy.
I thought I was being silly with six different tomato varieties, so I’m glad to see you have 8. Makes me feel more normal. lol
I am just planting my 2nd-year garden as well, and hopefully learning from last year. We have about 400 square feet of sunny terraced veggie garden space, thanks to living on a hill. But thankfully have 9 acres (mostly wooded) that is home 9 fruit trees and some berry bushes. We add more every year (a fruit tree or bush is my mother’s day present)
I learned that 26 tomato plants is insane (we are going with 16-18), start onions from seed, give more nitrogen to my root veggies, cover brassicas with netting unless you *like* just planting for the caterpillars. I learned to grow vertical and have better support for my indeterminate tomatoes that wanted to be 8 feet tall but didnt have the support (I joined the cattle-panel garden-arch club this year).
I hope my 2nd year garden looks half as nice as yours!
Gorgeous
