Garden Plan:

1. First garden west of the driveway along the wooden fence. Growing there is corn, spring garlic, Walla Walla onions, Russet and Norland potatoes, beets, carrots, and Ruby Ring and Trekker onions.

     2. Mostly potatoes with a row of beets struggling along the fence and a short row of Walla Walla onions along the lawn.

3. Two rows of carrots. We left a space between 2 and 3 because swallows were nesting when we were planting and we didn’t want to annoy them.

4. The garlic patch. Varieties are labeled. On the north end are some onions and spring garlic.

5. The tomato patch. Cherry tomatoes are in 2 rows closest to the woods, then are Ultrasonic tomatoes. There are a few called Sub-Artic Maxi which should be the earliest ones to ripen, and a few romas, too.

6. There’s a row of Trekker onions on the west side with a row of leaf lettuce right beside it, then carrots on the east side. The row is marked with a few onions, and there used to be golden beets on the south end of this row, but the deer at them all.

7. The bean patch. Along the fence are fingerling potatoes and heading north are french horticultural dry beans and Bush Lake haricot vert green beans in a row. The next row is Yin/Yang dry beans, Cannellini dry then Black dry beans. They stay black even after soaking and cooking! The next row (final row of beans) starts out with kidney beans (dry), Lima beans (struggling) and finally Bingo dry beans. Bingo beans are the ones with the gorgeous reddish streaked pod.  Along the shed edge are Trekker onions.

8. On the east side are golden beets, Touchon carrots and rutabagas, and on the west side are cucumbers, a few zucchini and some corn.

9. This used to be a cattle bale feeder and now it holds green peas and green and red lettuce.
