Now what?

Once I figured out a place for the garden box, I had to plan what to plant. For the most part, this is completely personal.

On a piece of paper, I simply drew what looked like a 4' x 10' box. Simple. I then listed my favorite garden items, and here is what I came up with:
  • Tomatoes
  • Cucumbers
  • Cantaloupes
  • Peppers--a variety from mild to hot
  • Oregano
  • Rosemary
  • Thyme
  • Cilantro
  • Basil
I then arranged the plants in "clumps" that I think will look nice, with the tallest plants in the back and the "wondering plants"--the cucumbers and the cantaloupe--on the sides so they can creep over the sides of the box.

Off to Home Depot to see what plants they may have!
