Tic-Tac-Toe Gardening
If Mel Bartholomew can get a whole book out of square foot gardening, then surely I can get a blog post out of my own invention, tic-tac-toe gardening.
It started with my favorite cole slaw recipe, which calls for cabbage and scallions. Last year, I grew just the cabbage, but this year I decided to grow the scallions as well. However, I didn't want to dedicate an entire 4x4' bed to them—the recipe calls for only four scallions per head of cabbage—so what to do?
Well, the book on companion planting that I read this year said that cabbage and scallions grow well together, so I decided to pair them up. And the way I did it was to sow the scallions in four intersecting rows that formed a grid, like in tic-tac-toe. Then I planted the cabbages in the 'boxes'. (Since cabbage heads are round, I guess they're the O's—not sure what I would use for X's. But perhaps I'm taking the metaphor a bit too far.)

Anyway, it was a whimsical way to create my cole slaw patch!
