Ms. Que BanhI worked til noon.
Ate a quick lunch & got back to my backyard food gardening.
Sowed a row of sweet yellow corn, a row of Jimmy red corn & a new mixed poppies patch.
I'm taking a brief tea break before sowing sage, 3 assorted beans, yellow cherry tomatoes, jalapeño peppers, endives, chervil & making another mixed salad planter. 👩🌾
Vicariously enjoy my longterm project of slowly turning our backyard into a suburban food forest. Mixed food/herb/edible gardens with mini orchard & multiple mixed pollinator garden spots. Ongoing soil remediation with lawn removal & alternative cover crops.

Miss GayleHave you researched this? I'm not sure tires are safe to plant food crops in. I thought they were just for flowers and ornamentals.
@MissGayle Yes, I don't plant any root veggies in them but above soil is safe.
Well, above ground crops still get their nutrients (and contaminants) from the soil, so I'm not sure.
Here's a couple of quick and dirty resources:

Tire Garden Planting: Are Tires Good Planters For Edibles
Are old tires in the garden a menace to your health, or a responsible and eco-friendly solution to a real pollution problem? That depends entirely upon who you ask. Tire garden planting is a hotly debated topic. Learn more about growing vegetables in tires here.
@MissGayle Some of the suggestions in these articles actually are more harmful - like using plastics to line them or using paint to coat them.
