Plant List

 PlantNumberSpacingSpacing in RowsNotes
Basil 17"5" x 9"Companion- Tomato, Pepper and Lettuce. Sow and Plant-Make a late spring planting of seedlings started indoors or purchased. In summer, after the soil is warm, sow more basil wherever you want it to grow. Harvesting-Harvest leaves a few at a time as you need them in the kitchen. In midsummer, cut plants back by half to stimulate new growth, and make big batches of pesto with the trimmings. Troubleshooting- Plants that slowly wilt to death and show a dark ring on their stems near the soil line are infected with fusarium wilt.

Grape Vine 24' 11"4' 11" x 4' 11"Apply cow manuer 18-inch circle around each vine after planting (late April to early May). Repeat every 6 weeks until early July. The second year, apply in early March, May and July at double the first year's rate (12 lb per vine). Do not put the fertilizer closer than 21 inches from the trunk. To minimize the potential for winter cold injury, piedmont and foothills growers should omit July fertilizer applications. If the average length of new vine growth exceeds 3 to 4 feet during the season, reduce the amount of fertilizer the following year by 20%. Continue adjusting fertilizer rate until the desired vigor (based on vine length) is obtained. Avoid mulching materials that will release nitrogen late in the season and cause increased susceptibility to winter damage.
