This is a series of Vegetable Garden signs with the theme of Grow and Eat a Rainbow designed by Mary Van Dyke. The rainbow of colors refer to the plant families - and help plant your garden and rotate crops successfully. The signs include a key color guide to the plant families, and details of crop rotation and use of cover crops. Signs describe a few crops, and techniques for growing tomatoes and beans at home, school or a community garden. Print these signs on 11 x 8.5 inch Terraslate 7mm polyester water-resistant 'paper' with UV coating, trim to size and place in metal sign holders 11 x 7 inch - or hole-punch and hang on a fence. These garden signs go with another longer series of 7 x 5 inch inch vegetable garden plant labels (also uploaded to slideshare).
