Garlic
| 165 | 5" | 3" x 9" | Started first week of November for 2024
Planted in February 2023! We aren't sure if anything will grow, but tried once beds were filled.
Many garlic grew, but only grew one giant clove. Still very exciting. Bed G final harvest 7/30. Bed H final harvest by 6/30.
We grew fewer than this, but it was the most efficient to layout this way. |

Marigold
| 10 | 7" | 7" x 7" | Tomatoes, peppers, squash. French marigolds are possibly one of the most famous companion plants. That is because the roots of French marigolds contain a natural nematocide that kills root-knot nematodes. Root-knot nematodes are a microscopic and harmful nematode that feed on root systems, reducing plant health and yields.
This makes marigolds an excellent companion to plant with tomatoes, squash, melon, and other crops frequently affected by root-knot nematodes. Furthermore, this particular companion planting benefit IS scientifically backed! Yet it is often misunderstood by the well-intended gardener. See, planting one little marigold plant next to a tomato may not be all that effective…
In order to reap the benefits of French marigold companion planting, the marigold root system must be left in place. This means cutting the marigold plant out at the soil line (no-till style) rather than pulling it out at the end of the season. Even better results are achieved if many marigold plants are grown prior to planting the veggie crop in the same location. Root knot nematodes aside, marigolds are attractive to beneficial insects and bring a beautiful pop of color to the garden! |

Peas
| 21 | 3" | 3" x 7" | Experimenting with last week of August. Heat seemed ok this week, but threat of 94 degrees next week. If the weather holds they should germinate approximately by 9/3 - 9/6.
Plant seeds 8-10 weeks before first expected frost = 9/6 - 9/20
Place seeds around an inch deep, spacing them an inch apart. Cover with soil and water well. The seeds should germinate in around a week to 10 days. Once seedlings are a few inches tall, thin to one plant every 2 to 3 inches.
**We planted every 4-6 inches. We can plant the next round in between.
The pods should be ready for harvesting around 6 to 8 weeks after sowing seeds. The more often that you harvest your sugar snap peas, the more the plants will produce. |
