My Garden Plan

Here is my plan for my 2012 garden using the Mother Earth News Vegetable Garden Planner:

The planner is really neat and has a square foot gardening option which made my planning much easier.  It will tell you when to seed, plant, and harvest for your area.  It will also help plan succession sowings and crop rotation.  Since I'm new to things like this, it will save me a lot of research!  It's only $25 per year - I've been using the free trial but am very tempted to sign up.


I did put in some time to research companion planting before I laid out my plan.  Wikipedia was really helpful for that.


In my square foot garden areas, the plan tells me how many seeds to plant in each square foot.  Of course, the math wouldn't be too difficult but it will be really convenient to be able to look at the plan and plant away.
