Bed # 4




So we are still going with the squash theme and more zuchinni and spagetti squash (a personal favorite.) More bush beans because I didn't know what else to plant and a recently added bush cucumber.
There was supposed to be 10 spagetti squash but I guess when I was planting the seeds I grabbed the zephyr squash instead because I have another flat of that instead. Oh well, more for farmers.
Again another trellis this one created using a pair of sawhorse brackets and 6 ft high 2X4's. It is a large sawhorse with the metal mesh used in concrete pouring. They are very ridgid 4x7 panels and there are two zip tied to the frame. The watermelon, spagetti squash (reg type) and zuchinni will all be trained to the trellis. (Next year it will probably become a tomato trellis for crop rotation. I also have tomato cages for the 'Hasta la pasta.'

6 - Romansco (Italian type) Zuchinni
6 - Zephyr squash
3 - spaghetti squash
2 - yellow seedless watermelon
4 - Hasta la pasta (a smaller orange spaghetti squash)
7 sq ft of bush beans
2- bush cucumber
1 - purple basil plant
1- Strawberry Lettuce (this is what my chart says but I think that one didn't make the transplanting.)
