I am going to start showing my progress of my garden this year. Started planting about two and a half weeks ago. Feel free to give me input on my setup.
This bed in the foreground is squash!!-spaghetti on the right yellow crookneck in the middle and zukes on the left.

Some peppers in the front with two eggplants and two beans a gold and green bean and a blue lake pole. There is also a salad bush cuke in the very middle foreground. A little basil in here as well. Will this work together? I guess we will have to wait and see.

Very nice raised beds. Thanks for the nice pictures! To stop the birds get some screens and raise then a foot above the lettuce beds. Another thing that really works even better is thin wood slats above the bed like a shad house. The shade will alow you lettuce to keep longer without going to seed! just buy one of the 4 by 8 wood slat lattice sheets or two of the 2 by 8 latice and raise it a foot above the bed. Works great! It will even help with heavy rains and the birds and cats!
Just put some small pegs in the corners of the beds and in the middle and set the lattice on the top of the peg a foot above the bed and in the heavy heat the lettuce will be really tender and last longer! If your beds are three feet wide you may be able to angle the lattice and form a triangle over the bed!GREENTEAM wrote:This is some lettuce romaine, Bibb, and red romaine... Onions, garlic, and a couple shallots mixed in. Can someone tell me a good way to keep he sparrows from munching on my lettuce?
