The Garlic, Greens and Lettuce were Winter crops, but the rest we put in over the past two days. We still have three large Beds in which to plant vegetables and one for different kinds of Basil. Because M wants to grow as many tomatoes as possible, specifically White Tomesol, Tappy's Heritage and Dr. Wyche's, we've decided to put in another Bio-intensive, double-dub Bed, this time 3' wide by 20' long along the entire South side of the Garden, build six additional Tomato cages and plant as many tomatoes as possible. Three foot withs should be easier to dig.... ooohps Sopranos are on, more tomorrow. : )
