| ok I have a total of 8 10'x4' plots almost ready to go. Now I need help figure out what to put in what plots. I have 2 rows of 4 plots. I know people say to put some items to the north and that but not sure what to put where. I am planting tomatoes (2 plots) peppers (2 plots) lettuce, cucumbers, zuccini one is gonna be a mix of herbs (basil, green onions, oregano, and a few others. also gonna be adding another row of plots later for corn. |

| Put you tallest plants an the north side so that they don't shade the shorter ones. |

| I say put the tallest (tomatoes and cucumbers) in the middle. The shorter heat and sun loving plants (zuchinni and squash) go south/west. The plants that like a little shade and cooler afternoons go to the north/east (lettuce, onions, oregeno). |
