I know you'll have had sleepless nights wondering which plan I'm going to follow. Are you ready?
Its a mongrel between wide rows, running north - South, No paths, Gertrud Frank's spinach "paths" with rather a lot of random thrown in - literally. There are 7 Strips, each about 2' wide.
I had 3 bin bags full of saved seed heads - Red Russian kale, lettuce and a chard/beetroot/spinach mix. Instead of faffing about removing the seeds from the stalks, I chopped them up with secateurs. Each bag became a Strip.
The 4th strip was a jar of old ?beetroot/chard seeds
No 5 - a jar of ?mustard and cress seeds
Nos 6 & 7 came from a tub of really random seeds - maybe brassicas, alliums, salad leaves, calendula, carrots, anything edible.
I didn't sow them in that order - from memory - from the east, the rows are, kale stalks, beetroot/chard jar, lettuce stalks, random tub, beetroot/chard/spinach stalks, ?mustard & cress, random tub.
IF, big IF, these seeds grow, I can cull them for Gertrud paths, eat some and let the chooks forage when I've had enough.
