Hi friends,
I need a little feedback on a proposed local school project to bring World History to life by creating four 3' x 15' theme gardens:
bed #1 -- *Americas - squash, chili peppers, corn, bush beans, pumpkin, echinacea
bed #2 -- *Ancient Greece - lavendar, leek, chive, basil, parsley
bed #3 & #4 -- *China & Mesopotamia - rhubarb, barley, oats
 
My concerns--  
* Will 3'x15' beds produce enough for the students to enjoy and learn from ?
* Will these plants be ready to enjoy & harvest (learn from) when students are there before the middle of June and after Sept 1? (they do have a good summer upkeep plan in place)
* Are there more representative plants for these themes?
 
All suggestions and feedback welcome.
Thanks,
Judy in Washington DC
