2006 - Garden Layout

The 2006 planting year is now almost over now that it is in September. We should still get about two more months in our yard before there is a killer frost. I have started cleaning out some of the planters that I won't be keeping next year and a few of the annuals.

The garden layout is on the right hand side. Pots 8, 9, 10 and 11B were cut out and will be replanted next year with something new. They were much less than spectacular and didn't do well in the pots this year. Pots 21 and 23 were annuals and I removed them. Pot 14 was never planted as the space was needed for the tomatoes. More on the contents of these pots will be written up along with our observations on how they did and their proper names (when known).

This year I will try to remember to convert all measurements into metric. For those of you who are not familiar 2.54 cm = 1 inch.
