My first veggie patch (Ontario, zone 6a)
(lemmy.ca)
It looks very pretty but you need to space those farther apart. These are all going to get a lot bigger and are going to crowd each other out.
You're most likely right. The inadequate spacing was due to my inexperience. I'm planning to open up another patch next year and double my growing space.
