The red circles represent tomatoes. They are spaced 18" apart divided by 36". The tomatoes are 12" from the sides of the garden. One row of three will be Roma and will be used for canning. The other row of three will be either beefsteak or another large red sandwich tomato. The two black circles will be for black krim, lemon boy or Mr. stripey, just for fun. Yellow onions(orange circles) will be about 40-48. I use these a lot for grilling. Green represents garlic, about 36 bulbs. Blue is for carrots. This year they will be just regular orange carrots. No multicolor heirloom varieties. Not a significant difference in taste in my humble opinion. The brown is for red onions, about 26 of them.
This will leave me with space for egg plant, cucumber and then maybe potatoes. Greens such as herbs and lettuce are to be grown as well but will not be in this planter bed. Other options are hot peppers such as jalapenos and herbs.
