2013 Garden Layout

My husband decided to draw up our garden plans on the computer to get things ready during the winter.  This is the first year we have been this organized.  In previous years I would just make a drawing by hand, but I always found myself having to re-draw it this way I can just re-print any changes!  

We also expanded the garden adding 2 more raised beds (made out of Cedar) to our previous 2 (made out of pine).   We will now have 17 different vegetables growing compared to the 11 from last year.  All of this takes some planning. 

We used the Square Foot Gardening Method which I highly recommend.
Each bed is broken up into increments of a foot and then depending on the plant it may be broken down further from there.  Its simple, economical, efficient and very productive!
