Garden Plans > 2025: Veg Garden - Back

About this Garden Plan

This is my third year of vegetable gardening and this plan is for use from now until the end of next year. I have used companion planting throughout. I use Calendula, Lavender and Echinops as pollinator attractants. I use Marigolds as repellents, and Nasturtiums as a trap crop. I will be adding ground level irrigation systems to the larger beds.
