A revised plan for next year with the scale corrected. Nice to have more space than I realized. I added in an asparagus patch and moved my garlic from home to plot.
My home garden exposure is part sun at the west side (sun from 11-3 pm) and part shade (sun from 1-4 at the east side. My community plot gets full sun.

Did you plant your garlic yet? I planted my in September. Due to unusually mild fall, it is sprouting already. Do you think I am going to lose them?
I don’t think you will loose them. They’ll be fine. Mine usually sprout in the fall. I planted mine last week (oct 7). Anytime from Sept – Nov is OK to plant garlic. Isn’t the weather great!
How much space do you have between your raised beds?
My pathways are about 16 inches. Here’s an earlier post with all the specs.
Good girl Kathy! You have already your garden plan for next season, and it looks really good. I think it was a good move to plant your garlic on your sunny plot./ LOL Tyra
Thanks! Ours are about 21 inches, I believe. Sometimes I think we should have had more space once everything is overgrown in late summer. I like to pack as much in as possible though!!
For me the 16 to 18 inch spacing works OK. But not any smaller. Like you say, in mid summer the vegetables can completely overgrow the paths.
Magnifique, ce potager.Je fais aussi des plans pour mes cultures, mais je n’arrive pas à m’y tenir. Pour la rotation des légumes je fais un peu n’importe quoi … J’apprends l’anglais en ce moment, je reviendrais souvent te voir lorsque je serais pus performante ….
Thanks for the comment! I used an online translator:
“Magnificent, this kitchen garden. I also make plans for my cultures, but I do not succeed in being held there. For the rotation of vegetables I make a bit anything… I learn English at the moment, I would often come back see you when I would be can competitive.”
Me too. Exactly. I like the way you say: I do not succeed in being held by my plans.
I’m sorry if this is repeat but I can’t find this answer on your blog any where… What is the name of the program you used for your ‘scale’ garden drawings? Where do I find this program? Thank you!
I use MS PowerPoint for my plans. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/powerpoint/default.aspx or pencil and paper.
You could also try: Google SketchUp http://sketchup.google.com/ or Gliffy http://www.gliffy.com/
I love your garden plans too. Just checked out the MS PowerPoint site and will try it. Thanks for sharing.
Great blog. Lovely garden. Great organization. Love the timeline photos of the side yard. Compliments — and I can't believe you have a dog too!
Did you go to Carleton College by chance?
Thanks. But no I didn't go to Carleton College.
Franceline actually said, "I make plans for my crops, but I don't stick to it. For the rotation of vegetables, I do a bit of "whatever". I'm learning English, I'll come back to see you when I'm more proficient."
Don't rely on the accuracy of on-line translations, sometimes that are much more inaccurate. For example, the time the parent's club at school wanted to save me the trouble of translating the notice of an up-coming meeting, the on-line translation of parent's club was the type of club used as a weapon, not an organization. Although occasionally those meetings can become heated, nobody resorts to blows with clubs! A real person is the most reliable translator.
