The previous owner rented the house out for the last two years, and some shrubs were planted along the fence and along the shed. Once we dug up the shrubs, we realized that someone, at some point, definitely had a garden along the fence. The soil was soft and rich, compared to the clay soil that was everywhere else.

June 6th, 2010, a week after closing on the house, but before we even moved in
Here is what we planted (from home depot), and some quick notes:
Herbs
Basil, Cilantro, Parsley, Dill, Chives, Sage
Veggies
Jalapeno and Serrano Peppers - Both did really well
Bell Peppers - Not great. Only a few peppers and the walls were super thin.
Tomatoes - Grew like crazy, but out of the dozens of tomatoes, all but maybe 4 or 5 were eaten by squirrels. They eat them the second the start to get red. They take a few bites and then leave the rest.
Cucumber - Transplant eaten within a weak
Summer Squash - Plant did really well, but all of the squash were eaten when they were no bigger than a baby carrot. Eventually, the plant got some disease also (powdery mildew or something like that
