Vegetable Garden Planner

It's Spring!

(Or so my calendar says.  You'd never know by how cold it is outside right now!!)

Warmer weather and sunshine mean it's time to get back out in the yard.

Beginning a Layout

I love the visual layout.  It helped me easily measure out the space that was needed over the season for the plants I chose.   

For instance, I knew that a watermelon plant would start off small, but how much space did I need to reserve for it to grow and not crow out my tomatoes?  

When you "plant" in growveg, it highlights the area around the seedling.  This serves as a visual representation of how much space is really needed.  It's so easy to avoid overcrowding!

Plus, they offer options for ponds, fruit trees, walkways, and more.  You can design a beautiful space right in your own yard.  Who says designing is only for inside the home?
