LETHERMAN’S VEGETABLE PLANTING CHART 
Distance apart, especially the space between rows, of course is variable. Those with only a very limited 
space plant rows closer than where room is unlimited. Method of cultivation also effects the spacing. 
Dates of planting depend somewhat on the particular season, the location and the type of soil.
