So, I have worked diligently on preparing 3 raised garden beds. I have sweet potatoes growing in one and cant wait to see how I did. Im a little iffy on how I made the soil up, but we shall see! Anyways, bed #2 I feel very confident in the soil and want to do it the Sq Ft way. I have it planned out, the bed is 7' X 3' and here is what I was looking to plant:
back row: 4 sweet corn ea sq. = 28 bantam corn
middle: 8 bush bean ea sq, X2 sq = 16 Tendergreen beans
middle: 8 lima bean ea sq, X2 sq = 16 Henderson Limas
middle: 9 turnips ea sq, X3 sq = 18 Shogoin Turnips
front: 16 carrots ea sq, X3 sq = 48 Scarlet Nantes
front: 1 buttercrunch lettuce ea sq, X2 sq = 2 heads
front: 4 black seeded simpson lettuce, X1 sq = 4
front: 4 ruby leaf lettuce, X1 sq = 4
I was looking to just upload a pic of my drawing, but there it is..... So now the curve ball, I live in southwest florida..
Does this plan sound/look like it will work? I have one more bed im still filling and plan to plant spinach, kale, other veggies that may do better when it kinda cools down, down here.
