Grow vertically to save space and promote airflow.
Several years ago, I tore out the grass in this area, added compost from my chickens, tore apart free fence panels and wood skids, and made raised garden beds and trellises. It was my second garden, and every year I worked on adding more compost and expanding the area. Growing those green beans vertically produced a BIG harvest that just kept coming!
This lettuce was planted the previous fall, grown to this size, and overwintered with NO frost damage!
How? Buried in straw for insulation, and planted on the south side of a concrete block wall: the concrete absorbs warmth from the sun during the day and slowly releases it at night.
CANNING AND PRESERVING and WHAT’S IN SEASON NOW CHART will be coming up!

Strawberries, blueberries, apples and more…
