Plan Notes

Hi Gary and Sue, Enclosed is your Garden Plan for both the Spring and Summer planting season. I was able to incorporate all of your choices (including spinach) into the Spring plan. What you will not see are the radishes, but be assured we will inter-crop them among the briccoli and cauliflower. As far as the summer crop menu, your selections had to be down sized to all fit in your 4X8 foot raised bed. Sweet potato is no longer an option as it grows in each direction and takes over the garden. With the herbs you chose, we can inter-crop the basil among the egg plant and peppers. As far as the chives and oregano, they are too invasive to plant in the 4X8 bed. I did show both herbs in a side planter we offer as an option to safely isolate them from the main garden. Let me know if your interested in the side planter option. We will offer it at a deep discount if so.
