Next year’s garden

I believe (hope) that we are finally at a point where we can start planning for our formal sculpted garden (dispite the fact that we’ve not even harvested all from this year’s garden!).

It might sound odd that I’m coupling the words ‘formal garden’ with ‘harvest’, but I am planning on planting along ‘Companion Planting’ guidelines, and mingling flowers and shubbery with fruits and vegetables

What do I want more or less of?

MARIGOLDS
Tomatoes – more
Parsley & Basil
Hot Peppers – had 24-odd plants plant 16?
Bell Peppers – more – plant 16?

ROSES
Onions & Garlic

PETUNIA
Red and White Potatoes average 8 potatoes per plant 70 plants 6″ spacing, (start with 2″). 2 50′ rows
Aubergines 10 plants
Cabbage 10 plants (interval planting
Spinach

MARIGOLDS & GERANIUMS
Rosemary
Courgettes – more
Summer/Winter Squash
Sugar snap Peas
Strawberries
Cucumbers
Lettuce
Corn
Beets
Beans (Kidney, Pinto, Garbanzo, Black)
(Full sun in well-drained, fertilized soil. To get 20-25lbs of dried beans, you need to plant a 100ft row. 4 inches apart, 18-24inch between rows.)
