More raised beds

[TomatoTango]

Adding 3 more 4x10 cedar beds to my garden. This will bring my bed total to 18, 3 of which are in a hoop house. Here’s the layout from my kitchen. Those black stripes are going to be new beds in a few days. Not sure how many make me crazy but I plan on another 3 for next season.

Also made a potato tower with my 4 year old and planted it. He’s pumped.

@TomatoTango, please keep us updated on your potato tower. I have wanted to try that but for some reason I just never get around to making one.

Materials in place. Just need to attach and fill.

 

[TomatoTango]

Done. Manure and fertilizer get added tomorrow.

Borage, onions, carrots, bell peppers, beans, corn, melons, zucchini, basil, mint, horehound, nasturtiums, & random flowers. I’m companion planting this year to see how much of an impact it makes on my tomato’s taste. I’ll have about 5 new OP varieties I’m trying.

So far, so good on the potato tower. Several are coming out now and look healthy.
