Thinking Spring

>> Saturday, March 23, 2013

The garden planning ranks such a high priority, I passed up a TJ Maxx shopping day just to get the planning and seeds ordered.

This is the 2013 vertical garden. I am experimenting with using plants that grow and trail and those that row upright as well as companion plants to ward off pests.



Bottom row, cucumers to grow and trail, with marigolds planted at their base to deter beetles.
Determinate tomatoes on the next row with basil plants at their roots to keep them cool.
Eggplant is on the next row to trail between the tomatoes with pepper plants growing up between them.
Next rows are cabbages and broccoli seperated by cilatro, mint, and dill.
The top will be horseradish.  Just Waiting...........

Welcome to the first day of the second half of winter in Wisconsin!!!
