Prior Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance...

Lesson 2: Prior Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance

I took some photos of my garden yesterday. When looking at them on the computer today, I realized that I should have planned things out better.

These are my zukes. They are in a 6' X 12' bed. I planted a whole bed at one time. I am getting about 15 per day. Yes, there are 5 of us. There is no way that we can eat 15 a day though!

See what I mean? This is what I picked yesterday!

This bed is 6' X 12', too. It has Purple Queen bush beans in the back 1/2 and Eureka in the front. I planted them on the same day. In retrospect, I should have planted more of these and less zukes as beans freeze/ can well. If you look at the very back of this photo, you can see the tops of my yellow straight necks and speghetti squash.

This the is bed where I planted my lettuce, jalapeno peppers, eggplant, and way too many tomatoes! My  tomatoes are a tangled mess because I planted too many in one cage. They are full of fruit though, so we'll see how it goes! The lettuce was planted too late, but has produced well. I have cut it almost daily for salads.



 These are my cukes. No regrets here yet!

When we planted the garden, we also dug up all of the daylillies in the yard. We replanted all of them in front of the garden. We did a MASSIVE remodel on our house last year and destroyed the yards in the process. I love my daylillies and plan to replant them in my flower beds as we finish landscaping. For now, they're just hanging out! These are the first bloomers of the season!
