May 9, 2005 Garden List of Vegetables
CUCUMBER
CILANTRO
2 CROOK NECK SQUASH
CAYENE PEPPER
JALAPENO PEPPER
SERRANO PEPPER
ORANGE BELL PEPPER
2 GREEN BELL PEPPER
AMBROSIA CANTALOPE
MERCED TOMATOES
HEATWAVE TOMATOES
CELEBRITY TOMATOES
PARTNER TOMATOES
3 SWEET BASIL
the garden is laid out north to south, 28 X 54 feet, 5 rows north and south, high rows, i plowed the whole field with a gravely rotary plow, then i plowed it into 5 rows for planting. there is a path down the rows about 3 feet wide or so, i did this to walk down the rows, and to weed without smashing something. do i need more rows closer together or make do with what i have and garden efficiently. i am reading up on companion planting and crop rotation and am going to use these principals when laying out and planting. i plan on going to get marigolds, and beneficials plants to intersperse as needed in the garden. it is large enough to not crowd anybody i believe.
thank you to the group for the help.
regards,
mc
