We took advantage of near-record highs this weekend to get our spring garden into its beds. They look tidy, but since we planted mostly seeds, there isn't much to see yet...
But I have this pretty spreadsheet to show you what it will look like!
*NERD ALERT*
Notice the central symmetry of cucumbers flanked by broccoli and surrounded by a ring of tomatoes. Kumbaya, yo.
The large boxes are 11 feet long and almost 2 feet wide, giving us over 100 square feet to plant. In that space, we've tucked:
We'll also plant squash and fingerling potatoes. In separate containers, I planted strawberries (Chandler and Sequoia varieties). And we have a mysteriously-labeled "black tomato" to pot. Will it bring cherries, plums, or beefsteaks? Who knows? Vague labels for the win!
I know most of you can't yet get your gardens out. Our final frost date of February 28 gives us a jump start, for sure. I hope to share some inspiring pics of sprouts soon.
Will you grow vegetables, fruits, herbs, and/or nuts this year? What are your favorites? What works well in your area?
