newbie to veggie gardening... question =)

18 years ago

I have a couple of questions. I'm down in the Portland area, z8:

I have a 4'x6' bed full of lettuce, broccoli and cauliflower. What I'm unsure of is how long these will be producing. I just want to know if I can use this bed later this summer for another, warm weather crop. Or is our summer mild enough to have them producing all summer? Or should I save the bed to plant for a fall harvest?

I also have a 4'x6' bed for peas and am wondering the same thing. I just started planting them and plan to do it in 2 week successions. Will it eventually get too warm and they'll die out or can I go all Summer with these too?

And finally... Is there anything else I can start planting right now? I have potatoes, herbs, broccoli, cauliflower, lettuce, spinach, peas, and carrots planted now. I want to plant my zucchini, beans, and cukes too if it's not too early =).

Ok, so I have one more question... How many tomato plants could I get in a 4'x6' bed? I want three for sure (1 slicing, 1 cherry, 1 paste) with some herbs around any openings. But if I could get four in... :)

Thank you... Happy Planting!
