The Garden Stretcher

GoDawgs · March 13, 2019

The garden stretcher is at work again. I am growing more tomatoes this year, trying more of the open pollinated types now that we can grow them successfully in big buckets. So where to put them? The space up by the house where they usually grow can't accommodate any more. These are last year's tomatoes, one eggplant and a few other things:

As we took a break on the garden bench, my sister Pickles came up with the answer. It was right in front of us. There are two 18' long, 10' wide spaces, one on each side of the garden.

The existence of bacterial wilt and nematodes on the other side of the garden won't allow tomatoes to be planted there. But we can put a line of four 4x4 palettes for buckets in each space on both sides of the garden and still have a 3' walkway on each side of the line. Problem solved.
