It’s been an interest of mine for awhile. A couple years back, a friend had some rr ties left from a landscaping project I bought. I hauled a trailer full of horse poo from the barn and assembled things. The first year, wife only grew tomatoes, they did great. This time I finally got around to starting my project. Kind of haphazard, working full time I don’t always have the energy to do what I want. But anyway, got corn, green, red, and cajun bells, cayenne, tabasco, jalapeño, lunchbox pepper, okra, eggplant, squash, poblano, pepperoncini, sweet pepper, watermelon, and blackberry bushes, in addition to her tomatoes. Got some habanero and more poblano sprouting from seed. Still got carrot, beans and peas to plant. Late I know, but this is a start. Anywhere from 1 to 4 spots of each, corn about 10 hills. If I make it to retirement I’m gonna get more with it I hope. Gonna eventually have to have onions and celery too! I’m coming to realize, with my peg leg, I can’t get up and down from ground level well. Thinking down the road I will be building elevated beds to avoid that. And that will help with the situation of neighborhood dogs getting in there digging and creating messes. Having a problem with that 
. It offends my perfectionist nature that everything you plant doesn’t thrive - had one sweet pepper die, and one cup of poblanos fail to sprout. But I think when it all starts coming in, I’ll get over it. Going to have to fight squirrels and coons for the sweet corn too 
Squirrels are terrible for our garden here. This year we had some new neighbors move in and their cats like messing in the beds…lol.
I hope you have better luck with Poblano’s than I have. The bloom best in the fall where they are grown so even here on the Coast they would never bloom. Since Walmart sells them so cheap after a few years of trying to grow they got kicked to the curb. I have a bag in the fridge right now that will be charred, skinned, stuffed with White American cheese, battered in a foamy Egg White Batter (with the Yokes folded in after), then pan fried to perfection. I always order Chili Rellenos when dining Mexican.
Planting the corn in two short rows rather than one long row helps with better pollination. Wind storm really put a hurting on my corn this year. Half on the ground but trying to stand back up and all tasseling Tallest stalks are right ten foot tall
Oh like everything I get into, seems like there will be lessons to learn. We like to split them and hull out, fill with ground deer or sausage and cheese, wrap with bacon and grill.
That sounds good

Raised beds are the way to go.
Look into fermenting peppers to make sauce. Its easy, and makes good use of them when you cant keep up with stuffing/wrapping them to eat. Shelf stable, and lasts a long time.
