Garden Plot

I have drafted a new plan for my garden plot.

I will be putting things as recommended on the packages with minor adjustments...

There will be 7 broccoli
5 cauliflower
5 cabbage
4 zuchinni
3 squash
2 buttermilk squash
2 egg plant
4 regular cucumbers
5 pickling cucumbers
8 roma tomatoes
3 cherry tomatoes
5 regular tomatoes
12 mix salad bowl lettuce
11 head lettuce
8 spinach
18 peppers - mix from various color and salsa
9 celery
16 peas
4 kidney beans
2 great northern beans
1 pimento bean
14 green beans
5 rows of 23 corn on the west side

On the pergula I will have the Loofah and grapes and more loofah around the dog pen.

I have a spinach bush coming and I will need to find a place for sunflowers.

The egg plant, tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, peppers and peas will all be supported. I have a support system in mind and will pick it up with our tax check. With the ideas I got from the master gardner and his layout, this should be a very productive year. I just need to find some way to keep it all watered and happy.

Once the corn comes up it will be replaced with beans, the cucumber will either be replaced with more tomatoes or squash stuff. I will replace the cauliflower and broccoli and the peas. Since I won't have a need for more cabbage unless I know someone who wants them, I will have no need ot plant more. Depending upon the need for the egg plant, I will decided wether or not I'm going to plant more. Tomaotes are our biggest concern... While we gave a lot away this year, we only made 20 pints of salsa which is gone except one pint.

Okay...need to run gotta make some dinner.

Me.
