hello everyone,
thanks for taking the time to read my post and for welcoming me to your forum. So glad to be here.
So, I’m not a complete ye beginner (I’ve had veggie gardens before), but I’ve never done a raised bed/companion garden. I unfortunately live in a city with no balcony and so my only option was to join a communal garden and rent some space (which is limited).
the approximate size of the bed is 120cm X 80cm, which is approximately 4ft X 2.6ft. Since I’m new to this, I thought I’d try the square foot method. This yields approximately 10 square feet, so to make it easier I thought to divide it into 3X3 and leave a strip at the top where I will put a trellis and plant peas and beans.
In a long-winded way, what I’m asking is if you can look at my rough plan (and it’s very rough) that I uploaded to give me your advice on whether it’s completely out of whack or just any suggestions you may have for me.
I really want strawberries and hot peppers, which I know don’t necessarily mesh, but I was hoping if they are spaced far apart enough, they will be ok. I’d pick the peepers over the strawberries. If the strawberries need to go, can you suggest some other compatible partners?
im so grateful for any advice and so sorry for the long message. I’m just so excited to garden this year, even if I’m such a small space.
thank you all and look forward to you comments.
sincerely, Martina Pavlickova
