Garden Update – January 27, 2011

The plan this year is to focus more on companion planting. I’m going to space my tomato plants out so that no two plants are touching or near each other. I’m surrounding each tomato plant with onions, and planting cucumber in between each tomato plant. I’m going to swap out planting tomatoes from the east 3 beds to the west 3 beds every year so I automatically rotate my crops to prevent buildup in the soil that is harmful for the tomatoes. I managed to get home with just enough time to get all the onions in the ground. I’m only going to have enough room for 9 plants in the garden this yearThe seedlings have turned a deep green color since they’ve been under the grow lights.  I hope that is a good thing.
