I'm already planning for next year's gardens. Each year I change things around to find the best spot for growing certain plants, and add or take away ones that either did or didn't do well this year. So far, this is the plan for next year:
I'm planning on doubling the main garden next year, squashes and melons will be completely separated from low and tall crops since they have an unnerving habit of crossing over and strangling them. So 2 large gardens and a raised garden.
In the low/high garden I want the following: (top to bottom, or something like that)
tomatoes (half the garden, or at least 1/3) - Early girl, Better boy, Roma, & Sweet 100
Peppers (chunks, two chunks of 2-3 rows each) - Banana, Green, Habanero, Jalapeno
Then in rows:
green onions
cabbage
kholrabi (early spring and fall)
lettuce - Romaine and leaf (early spring and fall)
radish (early spring and fall)
broccoli (early spring and fall)
swiss chard
collards
garlic (probably softneck)
beans (sigh, yes I will try for a 3rd year in a row)
Then in the squash side of things I want to plant:
cucumbers (burpless and another kind)
yellow squash
watermelon (4th year attempt)
pumpkins (sweet pie variety)
butternut squash
cantaloupe
In the raised garden I'll likely plant:
spinach
carrots
I'd like to try and find more blueberry bushes to add next year. And I have some apple and grape seeds planted, so I'll see if I can get them to germinate and grow a little. I'd also like to plant some of the peach seeds I have and perhaps an avocado.
