Garden plan
Your garden brief, your beds and containers, the crop plan and the rotation history. Seeded from your setup; everything you type stays in this browser.
Garden brief
One page on what this garden is for and how much of your week it gets. Module 1 walks through it. Essential for a first season.
Beds and containers
One row per bed or container. Sun hours are the ones you measured in Module 2, not a guess.
Crop plan
One row per crop and variety. Spacing and counts come from Module 5 and the plant calculator; dates from the planting calendar. Essential for a first season.
Rotation history
One row per bed per year. The families column is what Module 12 reads when it plans next year. Optional for a first season.
How to use these sheets
- Brief first. Fill the brief in Module 1, before you buy anything. It is the page you reread in July when the garden feels too big.
- One row per bed or container. Sun hours are the ones you measured, with the month you measured them in the notes.
- One row per crop and variety in the crop plan. Spacing and counts come from Module 5; target dates from the planting calendar. Status is your judgment of the plan, not of the crop: provisional until the seed or transplants are in hand.
- Rotation: one row per bed per year. Families grown and problems seen are what Module 12 reads when it plans next year.
The example rows come from the Okafor garden (fictional): two 4 x 8 ft cedar beds over former lawn, 7 hours of measured sun in May, maple shade on the east bed after 4 pm from July. The crop rows show a transplanted crop and a direct-sown crop with spacing from the crop guide; the rotation row shows a problem recorded as provisional.
The plan records what you intend. It cannot tell you whether a variety will do well in your yard or whether the shade will cut a harvest; this season's logs settle that. Rules about digging or building on rented land or in an HOA are the landlord's or association's to answer, in writing.
