Here's a quick shot of my garden plan. I should be planting in the next day or two. I'm also going to knock together another bed just for broccoli and cabbage since they take up a lot of room.

Edit: I guess it would help if the image wasn't upside down, but I can't get it to do right :(

Danger, you can use the motherearthnews garden planner free for 30 days, it's good for helping laying things out, I used it this year and liked it

So I haven't done an update in forever, so I figure I better do that soon since I've already done some harvesting lol!

First off, that seed bank you sent me is full of win Kvr! I'm getting somewhere in the ballpark of 80%-90% germination rates for everything I've tried so far.

In this bed I've got radishes in the front, with a few beds of carrots in the center. The back two rows are full of beets. Everything looks really nice, I've already harvested a bunch of radishes and we've been using beet greens in stir frys and whatnot pretty regular.

In my center bed, I've got a mix of lettuce and swiss chard, peas in the corner with the baby gate trellis and a single, solitary broccoli up by the top. I neglected this bed pretty bad for a while and some of my baby lettuces got choked off by grasses, so the squares on the left recently got planted with turnips.

finally I've got my winter bed going pretty well, I neglected this one too and about half of my seedlings got choked off by grass again (lesson learned, weed on time, every time). The empty squares also have turnips in them, and the rest are a mix of broccoli and cabbage.

Should be a good winter crop.
