Short Rows Are All Ready!

 

 In the spring I till up the short (50' as opposed to 150') rows to plant my spring crops, and I also "rent" these short rows out to individuals that would like to garden but do not have the space at their home to garden.  Or rental fee is simply 5 hours a month volunteer time; we aim to make it accessible to everyone regardless of their income.

  

This year I have all my short rows accounted for.  Six of these rows are rented out, and the remaining 7 are accounted for in the overall garden plan. The Brighton Garden Club also has a corner of the garden planted up with their beautiful flowers and herbs.  (Well, right now things are just starting to green up, but soon it will be beautiful!)

 

The rest of my rows will contain 2 rows of Strawberries, 2 rows of peas and one of beets and swiss chard as mentioned earlier, one row of random spinach, lettuce, carrots, and radish; one row of onions, and one row of pole beans.  I found some purple pole beans in my stash of donated seeds from last year.  I'm excited to try that this year!
