How do I plant some vegetable plants, tomato, zuchini and cucumber. We have a circular spot to plant them in.?

I've got 6 small cucumber plants, 2 medium zuchini plants, and 3 bigger tomato plants.

How do I plant some vegetable plants, tomato, zuchini and cucumber. We have a circular spot to plant them in.?
I would suggest tomatoes on the north rim so they will not block the sun from the other plants, and cucumbers on the east and west rim, for the same reason, and the zuccini in the middle. Cucumbers like to be trellised for best yields.
Reply:Since your garden is circular and in full sun, plant your tomatoes in the center. These will grow tall. Plant the zuchini and cucumber around the tomatoes. These plants will run. You will have to train them to say in the circle.
Reply:Oooo, a circle garden. Kind of cool.


Make it like one of those circular garden mazes.


Tallest plants in the middle...like the tomatoes...to the shortest plants on the outside.


Like of it as an "O" with a line drawn thru the middle, like a path.


You have to be able to get to them.


Plant the tomatoes right in the very middle, in a little circle, so you will be able to walk around them.


Zucchini next...you will be able to access them from the circle around the tomato plants.


Cucumbers on the outside.


If it is a SMALL circle....tomatoes in the middle, Zucchinis on one side, cucumbers on the other, with a line down the middle for access to the tomato plants.

Reply:Before you plant, check carefully beneath the leaves for pests. Rinse the entire plant under the tap to ensure there are no stowaways.





With some plants, such as rose bushes, you may soak the roots in water mixed with a little bleach to further safeguard from pests and disease.





Dig your holes, and fill each with a couple of inches of fresh fertilizer or rich garden soil, to about the point where the plant's roots will reach. Center your plant in the hole, and if necessary, carefully spread out the roots. The top of the roots, or base, should be about an inch below ground level. Fill the rest of the hole with fertilizer or soil, and pat it down to anchor the roots.





Water your plant thoroughly to set the roots, then mulch. Your plant may suffer some shock, but will perk up quickly once it settles into its new digs.





For tomatoes, pluck off all the branches but the top 2 or 3. This will provide for a better root support system. For better tasting fruit later in the season, pluck off any flowers or tomatoes that aer growing already. This allows the plant to focus on making a good root system noww, which will pay its dividends in a better harvest later.

With all plants, sunlight and fertilizing are key.
