Sorry to say I can't quite make out what you mean by your notations on your chart. I can tell you gathered tons of great information, but without a legend or key, I'm afraid I can't help much.

However, with 14 SF of peas, you should have tons (a few gallons I'd say). Make sure you harvest them often or they will peter out on you. I made that mistake.

Bush beans not so much. I understand they only produce for a few weeks than stop, so succession planting is good. However, maybe Granny can expand on her idea of cutting them down to get a new crop.

Good luck

Sinfonian, I read that on another forum last year, and it worked! When the beans stopped bearing, I cut them back to the second node and they put forth another crop. I'm not sure it was enough to fool with though, I'm just going to do succession planting this year. Remember, I got a late start last summer, so didn't have time for much succession planting!

ok here's a legend

I forgot to mention that I'm only plaaanting 3 plants per square foot with the peas how much is that going to cut my harvest

Ah, you're interplanting peas with cukes and tomatoes. Interesting. I've never thought of doing that. I wouldn't think that would be a problem.

Cutting the pea plants to about 40 if my math is right this morning, will give you a meal or two for a family per week during the harvest season for peas. I planted 32 and got slightly less production than that. Of course, they may produce more per plant if you're giving them more space than 8/SF.

Good luck.

I'm not exactly going to interplant the peas with the cucumbers and tomatoes since the cukes and tom's will be trasplanted only a week or two before I chop down the peas.

IMHO: you have a maximal number for the watermelon. I only managed one melon per plant when they were 1/sq ft. You can trellis them, but the roots will only support so much fruit at that measure. 'Course I'm new at this, too.

Ah, so you're showing your succession planting all on one page. Got it. Makes sense now. Thanks and enjoy!

Bush beans are good if you want to have a large harvest all at one time to can or freeze. If you want a continual harvest pole beans are a better choice. If you plant all lettuce and spicach at one time you will be harvesting it all at one time. 48 heads of lettuce and 60 bunches of spinach seems staggering to me.

Good gardening, Mary
