Garden Plans > 2014: Our Garden

About this Garden Plan

This is the first year rotating beds and the bed at the bottom counts as 2 beds. We will be rotating crops and do two beds of the greens, broccoli, etc because we eat a lot of those. I would have liked the peppers to be with the tomatoes but my husband wants them separated for pollination so that's where they ended up. I can't wait for spring!
