Spacing & planning pg 2 radish-zucchini
RADISH: 30-40 days, space 3” apart. I mix a radish seeds in with carrots and beets to mark rows or sections because they germinate fast and get done quick. Companions: beet, carrot, cukes
SWISS CHARD: 55-65 days from seed, swiss doesn’t transplant very well, space 12-18” apart, another high yielder and is a favorite at VBKG because it's a great neighbor to the whole garden!
TOMATOES: 70 days from starts,space 2’ apart, add tomato secret sauce, harvest on cherry tomatoes start mid August (you only need 1 cherry plant) slicer tomatoes like Celerity harvests first week of September. Companions: tomatoes love living next to Basil!
HERBS:
Basil: space 8-12” and plant next to your tomatoes. Basil clones super well in water and like to be topped and cut regularly.
Dill: grows tall and needs a tomato cage for support. Plant withthe cabbage family!
Orengano & Lemon Balm: both are perennials that wickedly spread. Consider planting in border areas or mixed with flowers in your pollinator beds.
Parsley: space 6-12” apart, companion with tomatoes and with other herbs.
Rosemary, Sage and Thyme space by 1’, they are great neighbors to the whole garden.
ZUCCHINI: Plant 3-5 seeds per hill, space by 2-3 feet, plants get big and really need their own space. Companion with marigolds & pansies.
