We usually plant the 3rd week of May and hope that we don't get frost in June.Audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08732387420063891643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3218456578188796123.post-40508171543781843952009-04-25T15:08:00.000-04:002009-04-25T15:08:00.000-04:00I tried wide beds, but had trouble reaching the ce...I tried wide beds, but had trouble reaching the center to harvest without compacting the bed where I stepped or knelt. One trick I found was to lay a plank across the bed between plants to spread the weight out a bit. Good luck! I'll be back to see your progress.Thornehttp://thornesworld.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3218456578188796123.post-18809422335086466152009-04-24T18:15:00.000-04:002009-04-24T18:15:00.000-04:00Looks wonderful!

You can plant things together so they support and help each other - lettuce around the base of the tomatoes where it gets some shade, basil next to tomatoes and peppers (it helps both) etc. <br />Have a good summer and ENJOY the garden!threadsofmagiquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16059458362826317057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3218456578188796123.post-86039233646183328512009-04-24T14:04:00.000-04:002009-04-24T14:04:00.000-04:00Oh, great fun I remember my first garden years ago...Oh, great fun I remember my first garden years ago. Had a huge one, then I cut back a bit and did the square foot garden thing which help alot with time, and fewer weeds. Then I gave that up in favor of lots and lots of flower beds. Too many in fact. Everytime I got a new neighbor with a dog the'd put up an ugly fence (it was parklike with none when we first moved in), then to notice the fence less I'd plant. Too much to take care. I've thinned it the last 2 years to try and simplify things as I get older. Taking a break right now as a matter of fact from mowing.<br /><br />I used to enjoy canning too, when I had a garden, then switched to dehydrating veggies which was easier. <br /><br />Enjoy<br />Sandy<br />Welcome mats out, look forward to your visit.sandyhttp://travelingsuitcase.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
