I plant radishes, lettuce, and carrots together. The radishes come up right away and get et, then the lettuce gets big and gets et before the carrots need much space.

I also plant lettuce and cilantro between my tomatoes, so they will stay cool in the shade.

I would do the corn/squash/beans thing except that my growing season is so short.

I'm having my best tulip year ever. In the past I've had problems with critters eating the bulbs. Maybe my cats are finally paying their rent.

People around here gape in astonishment when I tell them about Californians digging up their perennials to put in the freezer for a few weeks every year.
