Every spring, I amend my soil, till it and and cover my garden with landscaping cloth. It looks like a painters canvass ready for the first brushstrokes. Just as the painter has an idea of what to put on the canvass, I too let my creative juices flow. The brushstrokes on my landscaping canvass are always very linear. The past few years, I have been using the software provided by http://www.growveg.com/Default.aspx. It allows me to put my exact measurements into the program and plan where to put each of my veggies. It even remembers where you planted your crop last year to ensure you rotate your crop each year. So far this spring, I have planted onions, potatoes, kale, Swiss chard, spinach, lettuce, cabbage, broccoli, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, carrots and beets. I know by looking at my grid, where to plant each plant or seed. Eventually, my canvass will fill in with linear brushstrokes of my work of art that is good enough to eat!
