SFG layout so far

18 years ago

I'm running behind in my garden (started plants indoors that are aching to get out; my beans already have tiny beans on them!) but it may be a good thing - I've decided on SFG instead of a rows/spaces one and the weather hasn't been cooperative of late anyway (too cold; below zero Celsius this morning).

Here's what I've come up with. The beds are 4x5 and are in a single line (as opposed to my diagram which shows them in a square) running east/west lengthwise. The back rows of the first three will be trellised as will (most likely) the melon in the last bed. I have 24" of space all around each bed. The beds aren't prepared yet. The boards were cut yesterday (12" high); I will figure out tonight how much peat/vermiculite/compost it will take for the five beds, and tomorrow I will call to price it all out.

I'm a little nervous about getting the zucchini up a trellis but it can be done from what I've read. Also the tomotoes, which are determinate and not a vine. Please offer suggestions! I've tried to plan according to companion gardening. It is only my 3.5yo son and myself but produce can/will be given to my boyfriend and his daughter and to my mom. All the tomatoes and peppers, etc are for canning purposes. Some squares are empty because I'm not sure what to put there. Some of the squares will be planted with seeds while I plant a seedling of the same crop in another square.

Any idea how many tarragon plants to a square foot? Or how many blueberries? I'm wondering too if I should sink pots and plant the blueberries in that since I've heard they need a relatively acidic soil.
