Post #6268903

We have a sloping yard, so one end of our garden is lower than the other. We did have the forethought to make the rows go against the slope rather than with it so all the water doesn't just run straight downhill.

But the question becomes... What grows on the first, or top, rows? and on down to the 'bottom' row?
Here's what we're planning to grow in our small (8' x 8') garden:
Tomatoes - probably 2 rows
Peppers - one row
Greens (collard, turnip, mustard) - at least one row
Cucumbers - which we figure should really be on one end or the other b/c of the runners - one row
and then dill, sunflowers, and probably zinnias, marigolds or some other flower mixed in.

What do you think?
