Give this a shot here. Any Gardeners here?
Im learning about permaculture (i dont think i could lose the whole yard, but the idea intrigues me) I want to do rain barrels this year as well.
We are getting close to the 8-10 week mark for seedlings.
I prepped the beds last week while it was warm.
I have a pretty good idea what i am planting, and adding to the mix.
Cucumbers, Cherry Tomatos, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Tomatillos.
Full sun 90% of the day.. (Fence blocks the sun in the early part of the day)

This box will be multi purpose. Carrots, Cauliflower, broccoli, other greens (peas?) and as the season progresses, squash and pumpkins might make their way in here, not sure yet though.

Side yard- Full Sun, all day. I plan to revamp some of this. The curvy front part of the house, i plan to straighten out, and possibly removing the crab apple to allow more sun to the front.
Side yard getting more sunflowers by the upper level of the house. Shallots, garlic and chives are currently planted under the bay window. Herbs are being places all around here as well.
