Garden Plans > 2017: Harriet Lane Hill Garden

About this Garden Plan

We wanted to use our back yard more effectively. Once we decided the size, we realized how much we could put in it! Taller plants with somewhat longer maturity went toward the back(west), brussels sprouts potatoes and tomatoes. This area is the lowest of the grade and we wanted to avoid it for traffic.
