Plan Notes

Hi Stacey! I am Ed Albright, your master gardener from Yard2Kitchen. I put together your garden plan from your completed crop menu. You made some great choices and I was able to incorporate all of your choices in your garden plan. Although you do not see your arugula on your plan, be assured you will see many arugula plants in your spring garden, as I will be inter-cropping them amongst your kale and broccoli. We will shortly send out the popular summer season crop menu, for you to select your favorite summer veggies such as tomatoes, peppers and egg plant. I will be setting up an appointment shortly, to confirm the ideal placement of your garden in your backyard that will fit well with your landscape and most importantly give your garden the most sunlight.
