Notes for Next Year

No more melons!  They take up too much space and come all at once. 

Only 6-8 pole bean plants.  Really!!  Also, plant all the bush beans at once, when the pole beans go in. 

Plant just two aubergines.  One globe, one Asian.

Plant more peppers.

Plant basil in the beds, rather than in pots.

Don't bother with planting beets in the spring.  They get lost among all the other summer vegetables.  Plant them in late summer and fall.  Also, plant only 'Cylindra.'  They're much easier to can.

Update:  Actually I will plant melons again, just not so many.  I failed to follow my own advice about only two aubergines.  Too many peppers.  Probably six would suffice.  And forget all the colored ones.  The beet advice is sound, although I still planted some in spring.
