Square Foot Gardening

New guy, please review my layout

11 years ago

Hi all,

New to the forum, new to gardening and new to SFG. I was hoping someone could give me some feedback on my layout, I have a community garden plot that is 5x16. Not ideal, I know but it is what it is. Might be kind of hard to read but I have given the tomatoes empty squares around them so they have room to grow. Also, I have a trellis for to the zucchini, cucumber and beans. Lastly the wife wants some space for cutting flowers. This is what I have come up with:

mrich,
Ideally, you would put your tomatoes on the north side. Zucchini doesn't really climb. You might place the cutting flowers along the border.
Looks like the long sides are east and west which makes placement a bit difficult. Ususally want to plant the tallest plants to the north and then step them down toward the south. Shortest plants to the south. Some thing like bush beans, cabbage, broccoli can take a bit of shade.
