We made some suggestions on which plants to choose in our November 16 newsletter (Getting Started) and our November 23 newsletter (Choosing Plants You Want). Last week's newsletter (March 8) told you how to build one yourself.

We'd be happy to forward you copies if you let us know! Hit "Reply" to this email, or email us directly at beiersgreenhouse@beiersgreenhouse.com and we'll shoot them out to you.

Planting Time!

• Your garden should have a north-south orientation so you can keep track of shade requirements for each plant. If your herbs are in the strong sun all day, they will get sunburned.
• Climbing plants go on the edge, so they can climb up the trellis you made.
• Tomatoes are planted in a group so you can support them more easily. Control bushiness and increase air circulation by cutting off lower branches.
• Big plants go together, and smaller plants go together.
• Make sure you can access your garden from all four directions.

1. In the northwest corner, plant four zucchini in a small hill in the center.
2. Moving south one square, plant four cucumbers in a small hill in the center.
3. Moving south one square, plant one tomato.
4. Moving south one more square, to the southwest corner, plant one tomato.
5. Go north again and plant one hot pepper in the square right next to the zucchini (to the right).
6. Moving south one square, plant the second hot pepper.
7. South again, one tomato.
8. South once more, one tomato.
9. Back north, plant four oregano starters spaced evenly through the square.
