How do I organize my vegetable garden?

What do I put on the bottom of a raised garden bed?
The bottom of a raised garden bed should be a layer of grass clippings, leaves, wood chips, straw, and other organic material. The cardboard should be placed on top of that layer. The organic material will turn into compost, while the cardboard will prevent weeds.
What is the best vegetable garden layout?
The most basic garden plan consists of a design with straight, long rows running north to south orientation. A north to south direction will ensure that the garden gets the best sun exposure and air circulation. A garden that runs east to west tends to get too shaded from the crops growing in the preceding row.
Can I plant tomatoes and cucumbers next to each other?
Even with the challenges of cool-climate gardening, tomatoes and cucumbers grow well as companions, along with beans, peas and nasturtiums. ... Start tomatoes six to eight weeks before outdoor transplanting. Cucumbers develop quickly, so they only need three to four weeks from seed to transplant.

Should you plant on a full moon?
"Flowering bulbs and vegetables that bear crops below ground should be planted during the DARK of the Moon," says the 1991 Old Farmer's Almanac. "That is, from the day after it is full to the day before it is new again."
Is it OK to plant tomatoes now?
As long as the number of days to maturity is smaller than the number of days until the expected first frost date, you can still plant your tomatoes. In general, most tomato varieties need 100 days to fully mature, but there are many very good tomato varieties that only need 50-60 days to mature.
What month should you start a garden?
If you're new to gardening, you may think the growing season doesn't begin until April or May. But that's not true — you can start planting seeds much earlier. In fact, you should! If you start the right crops now, you'll likely be harvesting your own fresh veggies by April or May.
