Master Plan (click to enlarge)
|
This is the plan for this year's garden. I have organized it by square foot, and then by season within the square foot.
The Colors are: Blue - Spring Green - Summer Red - Fall You can see the planting and harvest dates I have estimated and how many plants will fit in each square. I should be able to harvest and remove one crop before I plant another. Hopefully my timing works out. I am planting the tall, strung up, plants on the north side so they don't block the sun. We will be putting in a trellis for them and leaning the trellis away from the bed to make more space. We will be planting some running plants too. They will be trained to run into the gravel around the south and west sides of the garden. I'm excited to try this out. I have not ever done a square foot garden. The closest I have come is wide row planting in a normal garden. | ||||
