Plant List

 PlantNumberSpacingSpacing in RowsNotes
Arugula 105"3" x 7"start with seeds
Basil 27"5" x 9"start with seeds or a plant
Beans (Pole) 49"5" x 1' 1"direct sow seeds; be sure to buy a pole bean variety vs bush beans. Pole beans climb, bush beans do not.
Beet 85"3" x 7"start by seed
Blackberry 32' 11"2' 11" x 2' 11"start with plants; Buy a erect variety. It requires less support and pruning and will look "cleaner" behind your raised beds.
Bok Choy 27"7" x 9"start with seeds
Borage 21' 1"11" x 1' 11"start with seeds or a plant
Broccoli 31' 5"1' 5" x 1' 5"start with seeds and plant as early as possible; as soon as the soil is workable (which means not too clumpy and wet). Brocoli produces better when it can mature in cool weather. I personally love growing broccoli raab. The leaves are edible as well and are so, so good.
Cabbage (Summer Red) 21' 7"1' 5" x 1' 9"start with seeds; and plant as early as possible; as soon as the soil is workable (which means not too clumpy and wet). cabbage also does better in cool weather
Carrot 353"3" x 5"start with seeds and consider succession planting; plant 2 rows, then wait 2-3 weeks and plant another, and so on and so forth. This will give you a more steady carrot harvest
Celery 47"5" x 11"you can start with seeds or plants
Chamomile 211"9" x 1' 3"start with seeds
Chili Pepper 11' 1"11" x 1' 3"start with plants; you can buy any variety here that you like.
Cilantro 47"5" x 9"start with seeds
Cucumber 11' 11"1' 11" x 1' 11"start with seeds or plants; choose any variety you'd like. Pickling cucumbers are fun!
Dill 67"5" x 9"start with seeds
Fennel (Herb) 31' 1"11" x 1' 3"start with seeds
Garlic 85"3" x 9"You won't need to plant this until mid to late October. It overwinters and then will be harvested the following spring
Ginger 51' 5"1' 5" x 1' 5"start with seed ginger. This actually will need to be started indoors b/c it takes so long to mature. I buy my seed ginger from a local farmer and can get some for you as well and walk you thru the process.
Heliotrope 87"7" x 7"This is actually your milkweed. I had to sub for a different flower b/c this program doesn't have milkweed. Boo!
