Bought my lettuce, peas, onion starts, and spinach today. Put the first sfg together and got the dirt in, but it was beginning to rain to hard to get any of the plants in today. The nursery said broccoli is about 10 days away. I’m so excited! Thanks so much for helping me get a grasp on my first early spring garden!! You ladies are the best!!

@Stef They could, but starting those from seed isn’t easy for me.

@Kartik The posts go on the North side, outside of the big box. The top. Does that help?

Thanks for the site! Love all the advice, plans, etc., for a relatively new gardener like myself. I’m going to try this plan, but don’t understand your instructions for step 10 (I get it conceptually). Do the nails go in the top of the 2×8 on the “back” of the peas (top wall in your diagram), with the tomato stakes in “front” (between peas & spinach) to draw string to the nails?

Also, which way is north in your diagram?

Thanks very much! Really appreciate your site.

Thanks! I would definitely plant more spinach and kale…keep my green smoothie supply going.

@Rowena–I would build another bed about ten weeks before your first fall frost. Or go get the materials and fill it full of bush beans and radishes and scallions– anything with a super short cycle that will clear in time.

@JoAnn–Chard and beets are in the same family as spinach–so you can certainly plant more of that. And turnips are in the cabbage family, so you can replace it with bok choy, kohlrabi, collards, radishes, or kale.

Ok, I printed out the Fall Garden planner… thanks! Now I have a question…what if you don’t like turnips,chard or beets? Can I plant more of one of the other listed items or do I just need to learn to like turnips? ~
