My plan

I intend to make my main garden out of a 24X23' parcel of my back yard. A lot of thought went into the location, and this spot has the best combination of sun and being out of the path of the occasional backyard vehicle use.

I'll have raised beds (not raised very high), about 4'X10'. There'll probably be four of them. If I can get free wood chips from the local government, I'll use them as my walkways.

I used to have a Square Foot garden. Back then, Mel Bartholomew's show was a hit on PBS and I was hooked on gardening. We grew more food than we ever could have imagined in it. This bed will be larger, but have more variety, including more herbs and flowers.

Gotta go.
