How we plant in our greenhouses.

Around January, it is necessary to make plans for what is going to be planted in the greenhouses and approximately when it will be planted (we also use a calendar).  Otherwise, plantings won’t be planted on time and then the rest of the vegetable rotations will be thrown off as a result.  What we do is make a map of the vegetables that will be planted as illustrated in the two figures below.  Some of the plantings in the greenhouses will be permanent such as the grapes, asparagus, and a Pix-Zee Peach, but some vegetables will be planted in the spring, and then in the same spot others will be planted in the fall.  We also plant some Marigolds in the greenhouses in order to attract bees to the inside so they will pollinate the vegetable blossoms.  Some of this is an excerpt taken from our e-book 'Greenhouse Growing and Construction: How We Do It.'  http://selfsufficiencyhowwedoit.com  We also map out our outdoor garden.
