Thanks for your question about the garden layout. I think a mix of raised beds and direct sowing would work best for your space. The south-facing corner gets good light, so tomatoes and peppers would do well there. For the shadier spots near the fence, I'd recommend leafy greens like spinach and kale. If you want to try something different this year, consider adding a small herb spiral near the kitchen door. Rosemary, thyme, and oregano are low-maintenance and handy for cooking. You might also think about companion planting-basil near tomatoes helps deter pests, and marigolds around the borders attract pollinators. Starting seeds indoors in early spring gives you a longer growing season, but direct sowing in late spring works fine for root vegetables. I can send you a rough sketch if that helps visualize the setup.

About the camping trip next month, I think mid-August would work best for everyone. The forecast tends to be stable then, and the lake levels are usually good for kayaking. I was looking at the Pine Ridge site again, and they have four spacious spots near the water. If we book by the end of this week, we can secure the group area. Do you prefer tent camping or would you want to try the cabin option? The cabin has electricity and a small kitchen, which might be easier for cooking meals together. I can bring the portable grill and a cooler for produce. Let me know if Saturday the 14th or the 21st suits you better. I will also check if the fire pit is available for evening gatherings.
