re: 2024 Spring Garden Thread

I haven't planned out my spread yet, but will be continuing the pattern I started last year of "less is more". Instead of planting three rows of eggplant and peppers in one of my 4x8 beds, I planted one row in the middle, half peppers and half eggplant, then planted two rows of snap beans on each side of it. That one row produced more than the three rows I planted the year before. They just kept on giving all summer.

Plan:
Late Winter / Early Spring:
Beets
Potatoes
Peas
Carrots
Spinach
Garlic

Spring:
Tomatoes - San Mar / Roma, Brandywine, LA Red, SS 100, Two Tasty, Midnight Snack
Eggplant
Peppers - Marconi, Aristotle
Onions
Squash - Zucchini, Tromboncino, Butternut
Snap Beans - Contender
Sweet Potatoes - going to try some Okinawa purple this year
Basil, Thyme, Rosemary, Oregano, Chamomile, Borage, Bee Balm, Lemon Grass, etc..
Cantaloupe - Aphrodite

Going to try to get lucky and get some more Camarosa strawberry plants. Those produced in abundance compared to the Florida Brilliance I had and tasted amazing. I've been trying to get some Camino Real's but have been unsuccessful for the past year. LSU Ag Center had Chandler this fall.


Good luck fellas
