The Garden Plan

Because I'm testing out crop rotation and companion planting, it seemed only necessary to draft a plan of the garden. As you can see, we're trying to fit in a wide array of edibles in the 10' by 12' bed. As things grow, produce, and die, I'll keep notes for the future. In addition to what is in the bed, I've filled just about every discarded pot, bucket, and old trash can around with potting soil and planted root veggies like beets, radishes, and carrots. Few seeds germinate under our oak tree, so I'm hoping to get a harvest out of my containers.

In the mail today from The Cook's Garden:

-hot pepper spray to go to task on the aphids

-seeds: herbs, yellow currant tomato, summer lettuce mix, hot pepper mix, empress of india nasturtiums, versaille cosmos mix, rainbow bell pepper mix, hot dance pepper mix, tri color pole beans, and cannelino beans

-Suzanne Ashworth's Seed to Seed - in hopes that I can learn to seed save this year and reduce my need to purchase them
