Hand-picked for this exact result — no generic lists.
Plant it like a market gardener.
Spacing is measured plant-to-plant in a grid — the simplest reliable layout.
- Don't cheat the spacing.
Tight plants look full in May and mildewed in July.
- Mind the sun.
Tall plants (tomatoes) go on the north side so they don't shade the rest.
- Feed the bed.
Intensive planting eats nutrients — compost between plantings.
- Succession sow.
When lettuce bolts, replant the square — one bed, three harvests.
