Today - Mother's Day - I made a little progress with planting the narrowest and longest arc of the garden. About a third of the bed has been double dug, had sod/thatch placed ten inches below the soil, watered thoroughly, and back filled with A horizon material. A final seedbed was prepared by belly rubbing an inch of vermicompost on top. Using a 9" isosceles triangle as a template - Onions, Sugar Snap Peas, and Carrots were planted in rotation with a full triangle devoted to each crop.
What do I expect? Onions and peas - are considered "antagonists" according to Jeavons "How To Grow More Vegetables" - does this apply to sugar snap peas? I don't know but carrots need lots of nitrogen and I expect the peas to provide this as an intercrop...I'm actually expecting all of them to thrive...
