Garden Plan 2013

     It's May 11 and there was a coating of snow on the yard and garden when I woke up this morning.  Right on top of the spinach I planted yesterday in California.  No harm done, just a slow start for germination, but I kinda hope it doesn't snow in June.  Sorry, but no pictures.  It all melted by noon.
     In the fall of 2012 I changed my over-all plan generally from beds of 20 feet by 2 1/2 feet, 50 square feet, to plots of approximately 112 to 126 square feet.  My reasoning was two-fold.  1) Too much grass on the edge of the beds tended to creep into the garden, and 2) it gave me more useable growing space.  I still haven't decided where I'm going to plant what, but I'll update as I go.

Main Garden, 2013

     Buildings are outlined in red, chicken yards have sketches of red chickens, fences are lines with X's, grassy areas are indicated by grass symbols, and garden plots by rectangles with state abbreviations.    
     Puerto Rico and Martinique are not shown on this map.  They are located south of the chicken coop and yard, and contain about 480 square feet.  More detail is available by clicking on "Garden Map and Geography" at the top of this page.
