About this Garden Plan

First attempt at basic succession planting. Trying out some early spring vegetables like radishes, bok choy, and baby collards which will then be replaced by winter squash in July. Have also planned to plant a fall crop of spinach once the head lettuces have been harvested. The garden will have a nice border of mixed flowers, with a small herb garden at the front.
