My Chicago Garden

In 2005 I added an 8×8 raised bed and 4 rows of corn. The 8×8 bed was intended for squash but mismanagement this year has caused the squash to overgrow the box. I am re-evaluating the use of the new bed for next year. I believe the box may be better used for poll beans or tomatoes. Encouragingly the corn has done very well and I think I'll double the length of the corn rows next year. I've also started keeping a plot plan so crop rotation will be more effective.
