THE PLAN
From tiny seedlings to big rewards
Seventeen kinds of herbs and veggies cover the fence and fill two half-moon-shaped beds, each about 3 feet across and 11 feet long. Our circular kitchen plot, small enough to fit into a 16-by 16-foot corner of the garden, is packed with our favorite vegetables, herbs, and pollinator-attracting flowers. The varieties listed below (and numbered on the photo above) were planted mostly as nursery seedlings; buy one plant of each variety except where noted. Beans and sunflowers were started from seed, following package instructions.
