Garden Plans > 2015: Spring Garden

About this Garden Plan
Garden to allow for freezing and canning. Also incorporating flowers to provide shade (sunflowers), weed supression and attract beneficial insects (alyssum/nasturtium), and deter destroying insects and rabbits (zinnia & marigold). Zinnias also provide flowers for the kitchen table. It should be noted that there is another garden located near the orchard for potatoes this year, due to space and crop rotation needs.
