An Edible Gardeners Reference

It's hard to find a straight forward reference to use in the garden. I like things being on one page. All the information utterly accessible.

For anyone in Denver, the Southwest, Midwest, or Rocky Mountains, this might be useful:

Edward Morrison's Late July Gardening Reference for Denver, Midwest, Southwest, and Rocky Mountains

A few notes on the symbology:

  • Xs are good things
    • capital X are pairings that are frequently referenced, especially good.
    • x are companions
    • /   that's half an x. They are probably good, but aren't as specifically beneficial
  • P is for "Pest Prevention"
    • P  Denotes a Pest Preventor! This plant either attracts the good or scars the bad.
    • p  little p is also a pest prevention marker. That is what this pairing will do for you.
    • q  that's a backward p. Like the half x, it implies some pest help, but not so clearly.
  • Some specialty marks: they explain the benefit you will likely have.
    • 3/  used once. In this reference, plant 3 basil's per tomato for pest prevention.
    • n  plant nearby. Or in "alternate rows"
    • s  the benefit this plant provides is shade.
  • 0s are bad things.
    • 0  these plants are enemies. Plant none of them nearby.
    • )   That's a half circle. It implies some animosity.
