Here's an aerial shot of Avant Garden geometry. Corn & sunflower beds to the right, with climbing zucchini building ground cover. To the left, plenty of annuals like tomatoes, peppers, & cucumbers. Some lettuces in the shade of cucumbers, & herbs like rosemary, basil, & chives. Further back find berries & fruit trees.
Borage blossoms. This herb enhances tomato flavor. The blossoms are also edible. They taste kind of like cucumber & marshmallow.
Spaghetti squash! It is efficiently establishing this hugelkultur bed.
This hugelkultur bed is growing a small army of carrots. We thin, thin, & thin again. Baby carrots are adorable!
One of my favorite plants: lavender. It loves full sun, well-drained soil, other friendly lavender nearby, & herbs. It attracts butterflies & bees & generally smells fantastic. Throughout the season I create sachets & spike-filled vases.
Potato plants leafing!
