Garden Plans > 2014: Veg Plot

About this Garden Plan

Large, long south facing garden with veg plot at the bottom end. Raised beds with a combination of traditional and square foot planting. Main planting only shown (not quick crops). Only completed most of the raised beds late 2013 so planted most with potatoes/autumn planted planted onions and garlics last year to break up the soil and planted the later ones with green manure and quick growing salad crops. Looking forward to a good crop this year.
