| Well, I've planted my 6 tomato plants, 2 types of squash, a bed of Gr Beans and basil, my 2 raised up beds are chard, kale mixed with Ichiban eggplant and golden chard, the other raised up bed has lettuce, arugula and peppers. Another bed will be green beans and basil. One 3x3 is for a sungold cherry tomato, the other is for tomatillos (to be planted later this month!) I still have a couple of semi-shaded beds to fill! They get about 6 hours of sun per day. I'm getting bummed at how tall the neighbors' trees are getting! Ideas for the 2 3x6' beds? Keep them for winter beds? Nancy |

| You can put your basil in the partly shaded bed. More chard? We got wintry mix and an inch of new snow today with a high of 32 degrees. The soil is still frozen. The only stuff I've planted so far is in my high tunnels. I've got 300 sq ft of chard, 500 sq ft of beets, 200 sq ft of kale, 200 sq ft of spinach, 1000 sq ft of salad turnips, and 200 sq ft each of dill, cilantro, carrots and onions. I'm waiting for spring to arrive so I can seed peas, more beets, more kale, celery and more onions outside. |

| nancyjane, Perhaps you could save one bed for winter planting. Cover crops are nice for beds not in use. I planted the first planting of sweet corn [of 7] a couple days ago. Also we planted part of the potatoes, set out the rest of the early broccoli, set out the early butterhead lettuce and spinach, and sowed beets and carrots. The ground is working up nicely. |
