Planning for 2011

So as previously posted there is one bed already planted in garlic. I have two others. The bigger one will be all sweet potato.

The smaller one will be divided into four sections:

------------------------------------------------------
|             |              |     watermelon        |
| parsnips    |    beets     |-----------------------|
|             |              | gr.dr cuc | ln gr cuc |
------------------------------------------------------

The gr.dr cuc is Green Dragon Cucumber while the ln gr cuc are Long Green Cucumber. I have the rough planting schedule as follows:

• April 1 Start Cucumber indoors, start 7 of each type
• April 6 Start watermelon indoors (5 seeds)
• May 10 Start Parsnips indoors (24 seeds)
• May 19 Beets, sow direct outdoors
• May 26 Sweet Potato Slips (plant all)
• May 26 Plant Parsnips outdoors (16 best seedlings)
• May 26 Plant cucumbers (4 of each)
• May 26 Plant watermelon (3 best seedlings)
• July 20 Start spinach indoors (30 seeds)
• July 27 Stop watering garlic
• August 15 harvest garlic
• August 15 plant spinach (plant all)

Note that the spinach planted on August 15th will be going into the garlic bed.
