xan's Wagon Wheel garden

Garden Type: Vegetable | Sun: Partial Sun | Soil: Combination I'm Organic!

My primary vegetable garden. The Wagon Wheel is a half circle 20 feet in diameter. When I first put it in it was in full sun all day and had 7 spokes where I planted tomatoes, peppers, onions, carrots, broccoli, snow peas, and beans. We also planted an ornamental pear, which eventally shaded it, so I moved the veggies to a new bed in the middle of the yard in around 2003. Then in June 2008 the pear came down in a windstorm. So now I have two sunny beds for veggies.
