intensive gardening
These pictures capture how intensively we try to use our limited space. There are two beds in the above pictures. In one, Spring planted spinach was followed by a late melon planting. The melons have created a living mulch for the leeks (planting in between beds) and at the same time have been allowed to sprawl onto the onions (grown in sets of 4) that have already finished growing. In a couple weeks the melons will have been harvested and died back, making way for the leeks and red onion harvest. Not perfect but it allowed us to get in a second space hogging melon planting.
