Plant List

 PlantNumberSpacingSpacing in RowsNotes
Arugula 55"3" x 7"can be grown from seeds - it will come back each year
Basil 17"5" x 9" 
Beans (Bush Snap) 69"5" x 1' 1"bush beans feed the soil and do not need staking easy to grow from seed
Beans (Pole) 99"5" x 1' 1"trellis pole beans up the fence - consider a "shelling" variety which will essentially be like dried beans you buy at the store - these are set it and forget it, let them grow all season and the pods dry out and then harvest all at once
Beet 155"3" x 7" 
Blueberry 52' 11"2' 11" x 2' 11" 
Broccoli 21' 5"1' 5" x 1' 5"from starts
Carrot 243"3" x 5"carrots and radishes are good companions since radishes germinate quickly and carrots take longer, alternate rows and harvest the radishes when ready (as quick as 4 weeks) this allows carrots room to spread out as they grow
Celery 67"5" x 11"one of my favorite things to grow - it is so nice to have it on hand for cooking! From starts not seed
Chili Pepper 11' 1"11" x 1' 3"jalapeños grow well here
Cilantro 17"5" x 9" 
Collards 411"11" x 1' 3"grow from seed if you enjoyed what you had previously
Cucumber 21' 11"1' 11" x 1' 11"English style cucumbers grow well - trellis up the fence for vertical growing
Dill 17"5" x 9" 
Fig (Container Grown) 21' 11"1' 11" x 1' 11" 
Grape Vine 24' 11"4' 11" x 4' 11" 
Hops 14' 11"4' 11" x 4' 11" 
Kale 21' 3"1' 1" x 1' 5"add seeds to what you currently have to make larger patch - lacinato is a great variety
Lavender 11' 3"1' 1" x 1' 7" 
Leek 67"5" x 11"onions can be tricky to grow - try leeks for an easier start
Lettuce (Leaf) 133"3" x 5"Loose leaf - cut and come again - seeds for this - lettuce plants don't like the heat, so they do well under the shade of the tomatoes
Mint 17"5" x 9" 
Onion (Fall planted) 45"5" x 9"already existing - thin as they are ready (bulb visible)
Onions (Green) 63"3" x 3" 
Oregano 17"5" x 9" 
Parsley 15"3" x 9" 
Peas 113"3" x 7" 
Pepper 11' 1"11" x 1' 3"look for smaller varietals, shisito, lunchbox, iko Biko
Radish 163"3" x 7" 
Raspberry 42' 3"1' 11" x 2' 11" 
Rhubarb 12' 11"2' 11" x 2' 11" 
Rosemary 17"7" x 7" 
Sage 111"11" x 1' 3" 
Spinach 97"5" x 11"add more seeds into the space around where you planted - sow broadly for a dense crop - spinach does not like the heat, so grow some now and replant in August for a second harvest in fall/winter
Squash (Summer) 11' 11"1' 11" x 1' 11"yellow squash can be very productive, pick a kind you like top eat!
Squash (Winter) 22' 11"2' 11" x 2' 11"pick a smaller squash like delicata, or spaghetti, or acorn, trellis upwards to save space
Strawberry 21' 7"1' 5" x 1' 11" 
Swiss Chard 21' 1"11" x 1' 3" 
Thyme 111"11" x 1' 3" 
Tomato (Small) 31' 7"1' 5" x 1' 11"smaller tomatoes grow best here, stupice, moskavitch are great varietals - get indeterminate as they are larger, put a cherry tomato varietal in the mix as well - will need stakes or cages
Zucchini 11' 11"1' 11" x 1' 11"black beauty is a nice variety
