Now let’s
get down to business! We’ll begin with a sketch of the garden, including
the location of the trellis and teepee, and note any special characteristics.
Then we’ll pencil in the crops. We’ll use a basic layout, but
remember, feel free to use your imagination when you create your design!

x 20’ -- each square represents 2’ x 2’)

Successive
sowings of lettuce. The bed in the foreground is ready to harvest. |
Factors we considered
in making this plan:
- The peas will have
gone by before the cucumbers get large enough to shade them.
- By sowing lettuce
every two weeks, we’ll have a continuous supply.
- We’ll sow
more peas for a fall crop on the north side of the trellis. The cucumbers
will provide some shade for the cool-weather peas.
