New garden plan

11 years ago

Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone could help me out with my garden plan? It will be brand new - I haven't dug it out or fixed up the soil or anything yet as the ground has just finally started to warm up a bit. I'm in Mississauga, Ontario and my zone is 6a/b depending on the map I look at. I think I'll be starting most of these guys indoors and planting them out in a few weeks once we're past our frost dates.

Does this plan look relatively sensible? I've had crazy good success with tomatoes and flowers in this spot years ago but it has long since been grown in. It gets full sun all day up until about 4pm, the left hand side is westerly and our house gets in the way and shades it.

The cucumbers I'm going to trellis or cage them and I think this will be the best side to not shade anything else. I may or may not get cajoled into planting some eggplants and carrot also, which I would give up some peppers or kale or chard for. Not sure what to plant when the spinach/arugula bolts, is there something quick I can plant in or should I just wait until the season cools off and re-plant. We go through a lot of spinach. Also, I'd like to have one green and one yellow zucchini. From what I have read, 2 green and 1 yellow will be far too many zucchini.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I do love growing things, but I've been limited to container herbs and veg in the past.


Thanks a bunch!
