Now lets
get down to business! Well begin with a sketch of the garden, including
the location of the trellis and teepee, and note any special characteristics.
Then well pencil in the crops. Well use a basic layout, but
remember, feel free to use your imagination when you create your design!
(Garden measures 10
x 20 -- each square represents 2 x 2)

Successive
sowings of lettuce. The bed in the foreground is ready to harvest. |
Factors we considered
in making this plan:
- The peas will have
gone by before the cucumbers get large enough to shade them.
- By sowing lettuce
every two weeks, well have a continuous supply.
- Well sow
more peas for a fall crop on the north side of the trellis. The cucumbers
will provide some shade for the cool-weather peas.
