Yesterday, I planted some pickles and baby lima beans. The limas are 65 days so that may be cutting it close for SW Michigan. I may cover the rows with a "cold frame" if it gets cold. These plantings followed a patch of green and yellow beans. I also plan to plant some beets and snow peas. It really got me thinking about how to get the most out of the garden and utilize the season the best. We have maybe 150 growing days.
For example, early peas could be planted along the edge of a tomato mesh cage. The peas would be done before the tomatoes needed the space. Early potatoes could be followed by a fall crop of broccoli or peas, etc. What do most of you do? I've really enjoyed my garden this year. We've had plenty for our own use and plenty to share. I hate to see bare ground if something besides weeds can grow.
