About this Garden Plan

Raised bed vegetable garden. Beds planted by family and rotated each year. Legume beds have snap peas early and green or lima beans planted in July (or whenever peas are done). Am "retiring" the 4x8 beds this year, as they are competing with trees. Will plant with pollinator/predator habitat and trap crops this year and may pull them out completely.
