First bed part on the leftmost side of the bed was planted with vegetables that do not need watering more than during dry periods.
As far, 8/6-2011, it got planted with:
- Beet root
- Spring onions
- Radish
16/6-2011, we also added:
- Romaine salad
- Rocket
The Spring onions would like to be covered with non-woven, but right now we haven't had the time to do so.
Second bed part was meant to cover salad of different kinds. Salad needs regular watering. For this reason, there will be underground watering system between row 1-2, 3-4 and 5-6 (where the "toothpicks" between rows are placed).
See how it looks like right now:
- Beets ' Rhubarb chard'
- Mixed Leaf salad
Currently not planted yet, but it will come, is the roman salad for my beloved Caesar salad and probably rocket. But as rocket is sensitive for pest attacks, we can't decide whether to give it a try or skip it completely for this year.
Third part was planted with
- Zucchini
- Cucumber
Each plant group was placed about 30cm from each corner:

No picture available currently, but the "table above" may give an hint. Let us see what happens....
Both of those with double seeds to increase the chance of getting any plant of this cultivation.
The forth part was planted with pre-sown artichokes. Only two this year as the seeds from last year mostly died. We left them outside at winter time. Not a good idea it seems for seeds....
The plant standing was a parsley plant that got on our old vegetable bed by itself from somewhere else last year. We did not have the heart to throw it away so we have moved it around a couple of times. It has started turning yellow now though...
It turned out, we could not find any other vegetable to be planted that enjoyed sandy soils. Unsure... Have we made a bad choice in choosing to have one "sandy" bed?
On the 16/6-2011, we added the following:
- Peas
- Carrots
Carrots have been chosen at all because they are supposed to be grown on sandy soil. There seems to be issues with carrot flies, but well, if that is an issue then we'll know for the next year.
Peas have been chosen as "we" wanted peas, and there was no other place to put them.
The round part of it was planted with:
- green tomatos (those had been hanging out in the kitchen for a long time. But they were never re-planted and looked rather ill. Should have tried to acclimatise them a little first but who cares. They did not look any good anyways...
- Sugar pods
- French beans
When I get my neat salix "poking devices" I ordered telephonically last Saturday, I will try to do supports for these plants. If they are still alive, of course....
See scheme for fifth part:
This part will also require watering, but no plan for how a watering system should be placed has been decided yet.
