These five beds are used to test varieties of vegetables to determine which do best in our marine-influenced local climate. Trials are performed annually on tomatoes and other common summer vegetables.  In the winter, we test a few cool-season vegetables. Based on our trial results, recommendations are updated annually.  

For more information visit our Trials Garden Information Shed and website for a handout of general recommendations for what to grow in our area titled  “Vegetable and Herb Planting Recommendations.”
