Our Garden
This year our garden is in the shape of a pizza. One of our goals is to attract more interest of younger gardeners. We will emphasize this as the season goes on.
- Today we planted Fort Laramie strawberry plants (which are an Everbearing variety). They were bare-root stock, right from our refrigerated root cellars. We also planted all star strawberry plants (Junebearing) about 18’’ on center in the row and spaced the rows 36’’ apart.
- More cool season crops were also planted. Carrots were interplanted with radishes so when we harvest the radishes in 3 or 4 weeks, the carrots will begin to develop and will grow on in the same row.
2 Tips for this week:
Interplanting saves space and gives a bigger yield and efficiency forlimited spaces!
Remember you will get a relatively small amount of strawberries the 1st year, but be patient because you will yield a much larger crop the second year and even more the third!
