Garden Plans > 2014: Large Plot Resized

About this Garden Plan

This plan consists of my plot in a local community garden as well as the garden's perennial plot. I am excted to try out the three-sisters style of growing corn, beans, and winter squash (all three are things I have never grown before), as well as growing potatoes, bassicas, celery, onions, and melons all for the first time as well. The rest of the garden is pretty much dedicated to all of the things I will need to make salsa, which is what I mostly focused on growing last year. I am a huge fan of companion planting and like to space our my plants around the garden rather than in rows. I am also trying to make the most of my plot by succession planting.
