Re: Planting intervals


     JC,
     
     My zukes and my cucumbers loved growing in among the corn rows. I 
     think they do nicely as companion plants. Both are heavy feeders 
     though. Someone wrote that zucchini does not trail, mine don't either, 
     though they do get large enough to fill a 4 X 4 block. My pumpkins and 
     cucumbers do trail and will invade anything nearby.
     
     Good luck,

I have moved recently and my book is in a box, somewhere.  Eeek!
     
So I planted by memory.  I planted corn and peppers at 1 square each.  I 
have 5 tomatoes with 2 squares each, is that right?
     
I still have cantaloupe, cucumbers, and soy beans to plant.  All will be 
supported on trellises, how much soil do they require each?
     
Can I plant a zucchini among the corn, and allow it to trail off into a 
weed patch next to the raised bed?  If it won't cohabitate with the corn, 
how much soil does it require if I plan to train it to trail off the raised 
bed into a non-cultivated area?  Ditto for Pumpkin.
     
How closely can I plant giant stalk (fragrant flowers)?  Sunflowers?
     
TIA
     
jc
