There is some garlic left from last year. I will leave that and harvest next August or September.

Plan

  • 40 Buckets on the roof
  • 4 4x4 beds on the ground

I think my next 3 4x4 beds are not going to be raised. Just dug down and filled with good soil and probably outlined in brick (to keep the lawn mower out). Also, I need to get tomato cages for all the tomato plants.

A big problem I had with the onions last year is that they were overpowered by weeds. Apparently this is a common problem with onions, I want to try countering it by inter cropping with the soybeans. Hopefully this will also keep more of the bugs away from the soybeans.

Research inter-cropping.

Plants

Schedule, to harvest everything in mid August

  • Roma - 76 days => May 30
