Notes to Self

1. Chard is pretty but we don’t eat it – don’t grow next year
2. One cucumber plant is plenty
3. Tomatoes need more than 1 square foot of space (more like 2×2)
4. Don’t be lazy and neglect to pinch off suckers on tomato plants
5. Pole beans are better than bush beans but they need poles (easy)
6. Corn and sunflowers grow well together but put sunflowers in the front or they will face away from the garden.
7. Watermelons like to take over the world; give them space to do so.
8. Calendula needs more than 1 square foot (more like 2×2)
9. Marigolds are awesome
10. I am too busy to water potted plants every day.  Don’t bother planting in the summer time
11. Potatoes are easy; plant more
12. Ocra seems unhappy.. not really sure why.  The small harvest I’ve gotten has been very tasty
