Neighboring plots

In response to the reader's comment on my previous post that other plots at the P-Patch seemed to be quite unlike ours, I thought I would come to their defense. In the first place, there are different ways to garden and "tidy" with "straight lines" is not necessarily the best. As you know, we have overly engineered the whole thing and our results remain to be seen. Let's take a tour of some of the other plots.

This one is right next to us. One of the other gardeners (we all belong to a Google Group where information is posted) made the comment that this gardener should start working on their plot or give it up. However, what looked to all of us like unkempt weeds, turned out to be a variety of tasty edibles including wheat.



This guy hasn't done a whole lot of planting yet this year, but he has been out preparing his beds. He has made a lovely rebar trellis and has some rebar cages lying in one of the beds (we do not yet know the purpose, but it will become clear later, I'm sure). And he made a very cool hose rack, shared by all.




Here are two gardeners using the "square foot" method.




And another using raised beds, one filled with strawberries.
