Plan Notes

I don't think there will be room to include perennials like asparagus, artichoke, and strawberries if I want to rotate yearly and keep open pollinated varieties at a distance from each other. Will put perennials elsewhere (in the berry/herb garden?), and raise tomatoes and peppers in the greenhouse. (April) Have put tomato seedlings in the greenhouse, will put peppers in cold frames. Strawberries are in raised beds outside greenhouse.
