New: Two Kitchen Garden Designs
 For
spring planting, we've created two Kitchen Garden Plans designed to maximize
space for a succession of tasty vegetables and herbs throughout the spring,
summer and fall. Each shows you what to plant, when to plant, and what crop
follows another as the seasons change.
The
Long Summer, Mild Winter Garden
is for gardeners in parts of the country where summers are long and
winters are mild without deep frost: USDA zones
8-10, as well as warmer areas of zone 7. Northern California Trial Garden Manager, Lindsay Del Carlo, laid out this plan.
The
Short Summer,
Cold Winter Garden is for customers in parts of the country where winter
starts early and brings hard freezes: USDA
zones 3-6 and colder areas of zone 7. Vermont Trial Garden Manager, Jay Leshinsky, laid out this
plan.
Each design has a link where you can order my favorite varieties for the garden
and get growing!
Note: These plans do not cover areas with extremely hot
and intense summers such as large parts of Texas and Arizona. Gardeners there
should contact their local
Master Gardeners or a
good local garden center for advice on timing and crops. |
