Garden Plans > 2014: Country Garden - First Attempt

About this Garden Plan

Our garden is very deep, and not quite as wide. We wanted to give ourselves enough space between the rows in order to run the tiller down the middle to avoid having to weed as often. I used two different companion planting charts to try and figure out where to put everything and I'm hoping that it was a success :)
