My Garden Plans
Since there's no gardening to do, I thought I'd lay out plans for next year's tomato garden.
I'm looking at having 6 varieties and 2 of each for a total of 12 plants. I haven't figured out which varieties I want(there's too many to pick from!!) but I know I want all indeterminate. Everywhere I read, I get different answers to plant spacing. I thought I would have three raised beds at 6ft x 4ft and 12 inches deep. I think I would be able to comfortably fit 4 in each bed. As far as supports go, I am looking at all of the options out there. I'm thinking that maybe I'll attach a trellis setup to each bed.....that way there's less of a chance of the support toppling over. Either that or maybe one of those collapsible "cages" I've seen ( I forget where though) Would 4 indeterminate tomatoes fit into each of those beds? Here's a simple drawing I did. There's going to be about 2 ft of space between each bed Last edited by Too Tall Toms; November 23, 2011 at 07:43 PM. Reason: added picture |
