Garden Plans > 2012: 17th Ave Community Garden Plot #15

About this Garden Plan

Here is my second attempt at a community garden plot. I am going to try corn with sunflowers, bush snap beans and squashes underneath. I traded plots and was given a smaller one this year, so I'm attempting to fit in what I can around it. I've been eager to have some rosemary, so I thought that would be nice next to lavendar, and help fill up the height from a short border of marigolds and nasturtium to such tall corn plants. I plant spinach wherever there is space left within this. Happy gardening!
