Market Farming

[Alex McGregor <waldenfarm AT sprintmail.com>]

Sue,

What Marcie said! Plus- I sometimes add a few radish seeds between early 
lettuce
transplants- planted in triangular patterns in beds. They develop fast and we 
harvest
them before the lettuce gets too big and we need to cultivate for weeds. I 
also add a row
or 2 of green onions to the south side of tomato plants when we transplant 
these. They
too get harvested before being shaded and are a companion.
