Garden Plans > 2015: Zombie Garden

About this Garden Plan
The goal of my garden is to keep me alive as long as possible while growing quality crops. I have added in extra touches to ensure my health including a water filter in one of my ponds, a chicken coup for eggs and meat, a beehive for honey, and lastly a compost bin to add nutrients to the soil. I also have the main focus of the garden with a fantastic selection of fruits, vegetables, and flowers. I plan ti use a ryegrass in the winter to maintain susatainability.

Plant List

	Plant	Number	Spacing	Spacing in Rows	Notes
	Beans (Pole) Garden of Eden	53	9"	5" x 1' 1"	Garden of Eden provides great tasting green beans. They produce high quality beans and I know how to save the seeds providing me with beans year after year.
	Carrot Hercules (F1)	810	3"	3" x 5"	I chose hercules carrots mostly because they are widely adaptable and can produce longer carrots where it may be difficult including in shallow, heavy, or rocky soils. They also store particually well which would be perfect in the zombie appocalypse.
	Corn Vision (F1)	75	1' 1"	11" x 1' 5"	I have planted a sweet corn called vision. Jonny's refers to the corn saying its "long ears have exceptionally tender, sweet, deep kernels, resulting in more corn and less cob."
	Kale Premier	22	1' 3"	1' 1" x 1' 5"	Premier is an organic kale seed. It is very cold hardy and produces very high yields which is perfect for my situation as I have very limited resources and the more food I produce the better.
	Lettuce (Crisphead) Winter Density [polytunnel]	9	9"	7" x 11"	The Winter Density lettuce is very hardy and can survive in a lwide range of conditions.
	Marigold Giant Orange [heated-polytunnel]	100	7"	7" x 7"	Marigold is perfect for tea making and attracting bees to my bee hive. Also the Giant Orange varitey is really nice.
	Pumpkin Kakai	3	2' 11"	2' 11" x 2' 11"	The main reason why I chose this is because pumpkin seeds provide protein. I specifically choose this variety becuase "European studies show promotes prostate health" according to Jonny's.
	Strawberry Sparkle	16	1' 7"	1' 5" x 1' 11"	I chose sparkle becuase it is great to plant in the North and it creates high yields. Sparkle is a very productive plant.
	Tomato (Small) Federik [polytunnel]	8	1' 7"	1' 5" x 1' 11"	I have planted Frederik tomatoes because they have high yields which is ideal for my situation as I have a scarce food supply.
