Garden Plans > 2021: Vegetable Garden V3

About this Garden Plan

2021 vegetable garden plot with irrigation included. Zone 7B. I wished there were more options for irrigation so my parts list could be more accurate. The two reddish-brown bars represent trellises that I grow peas, beans and cucumbers on. They are eight feet tall. There are three rose bushes in the middle, otherwise it is all vegetables or herbs.

Plan Type, Soil and Location

Garden Location: South Central Connecticut, United States
Garden Size: 54' 11" x 30' 6"

Plan Notes

5-20: Pot on deck would get an extra 45-60 minutes of sun in the morning if moved to spiral yard/bed. 6-21: Planted Touchon carrots from 2020 in middle of second row, where broccoli and Cauliflower did well.
