You'll elevate the look of your vegetable patch, and entice beneficial pollinators to boost your production in \"Second Season\" plantings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreate a solid hedge by planting 18 inches apart on center, measuring from the center of one to the center of the next. Mulch between the plants with wood chips, or use landscape gravel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have the space, create a wonderful mass planting by adding additional rows staggered off-center from each other.
