Rule of thumb #2 - ANS Do not let your land bare, causes weeds to grow. +wast of land
Rule of thumb #3 - ANS -Cool crops- if you eat the veggie part. growing in the spring
maturing by mid-summer
-Warm crops- If you eat the flowering or fruit part. planted in late spring and maturing in early
spring.
Cool crops - ANS f you eat the veggie part. growing in the spring maturing by mid-summer
(stem, root, leaves)
Warm crops - ANS If you eat the flowering or fruit part. planted in late spring and maturing in
early spring. (expect sweet potatoes, need pollinated, by wind, water, insects)

,Succession Cropping - ANS Growing an early crop followed by a later crop in the same area,
used to maximize food growth (cool crops first than warm)
Intercropping - ANS Having two or more different veggies growing in the same piece of
ground, shoulder to shoulder (herbs) at the same time.
Companion Planting - ANS two plants next to each other that beneficial each other.
Double cropping - ANS Two crops planting in the same row one with a high- germinating
seed and one slow-germinting seed.
Quick-germinating seeds - ANS Lettuce, mustard, radish, spinach, turnip, and onion sets
Slower-germinating seeds - ANS asparagus, beet, chard, carrots, leeks, parley, parsnip, and
onion seeds.
Early-maturing seeds - ANS beans(bush) beet, lettuce, mustard, onion sets, peas, radish and
spinach
later-maturing seeds - ANS broccoli, brussels sprouts, corn cucumber, melons, cabbages,
pumpkin, zucchini, tomatoes, and winter squash.
Vertical Planting - ANS along fence or strung between stakes of trellis (works with tomatoes,
squash, melon, cucumbers and pole beans)
Pros: less damage by rotting, less insects and slugs, less space used, more sunlight.
Cons: use more water, small yield, get sun scab cracking or blossom rot.

5 Gallon Containors - ANS cucumber, tomatoes, pepper and eggplant
Vertical gardens - ANS Tomatoes, cucumbers, pole beans, and squash ( uses vertical frames,
less rot, insects, and slugs. pumpkins on the teepees)
Potatoes: - ANS Will scab with a PH of 7.5
Hydrangeas - ANS Acidic- blue
Alkaline- Pink
Soil might not allow water penetration because? - ANS 1. soil texture: multiple layers of soils
have different textural and water dose not move down through the layers
2. Soil depth: to minimize soil breakdown you can
A) cultivate soil: not too wet not dry
B) set a side walking ways.
