Planting the Garlic and Shallots

Our Garden Plot began to take shape today. We planted three, four foot rows of garlic and three, three foot rows of shallots.


The wish list of what we'd like to plant come next year is a bit larger than the garden can hold, but so far looks something like this:

Garlic - check
Shallots - check
Spinach
Lettuce
Cucumbers - probably little leaf and lemon
Heirloom tomatoes - various
Cherry tomatoes
Green beans of some sort
Yellow and green zucchini
Scallions
Red torpedo onions
Leeks
Beets - red and golden
Fingerling potatoes
Carrots
Genovese basil
Corn
Sunflowers
Hakurai turnips
Sunchokes
Sorrel
Dill
Rosemary
Mustard
Parsley
Chives - check
Oregano - check
Thyme - maybe check

We plan to install a drip irrigation system in the spring to minimize our use of water. Our soil seems to have a bit of clay as it holds water well considering how little water falls around here.
