Plan Notes

Hi Greg, I incorporated all of your Spring menu choices in the 4X10 veggie garden. I held out the potatoes to better plant in the summer garden. The herb choices are all vigorous growing and may over winter. The more tender herbs, basil and parsely will be incorporated in the summer garden, inter-cropped with the larger summer vegetables. Don't forget to get me the summer crop menu shortly, as we will be growing the seedlings in our greenhouse.
