| Potager Plan |
Three stage plan
*Because I know that it is too much work for one year!
Stage One-
- two rectangular planting beds- raised beds Cinder Blocks
- double height for Asparagus
- circular focal point
- fencing- use leftover porch balusters and hardware cloth
- put down newspaper and mulch to kill grass on paths
- install soaker hose
Stage Two- Middle Beds
Stage Three- Herb Beds, Perimeter Fencing and pea gravel pathways
Companion Plantings
Tomatoes and Basil
Asparagus and Strawberries (needs ultra high netting)
Broccoli and Nasturtiums
Zucchini and Borage
English Lavender (hardy) and White Sage (Artemeisia)- requires sandy, well-drained soil and no extra watering (soaker hose)
Thyme and Rosemary-requires sandy, well-drained soil and no extra watering (soaker hose)
Focal Point
Mint and Lamb's Ear planted in circle
Four quadrants for visual interest
Bird bath in center
Solar powered fountain?
