GARDENING: Plan ahead with a garden design

Spring fever is starting to set in, and it’s the perfect time to plan this summer’s vegetable garden. Taking the time to plan the garden makes life much easier when you’re ready to plant.

When I first started gardening, planting the vegetable garden was very stressful for me. I used to “plan” as I went, deciding where to put stuff as I planted it. It was stressful because by the time I was half way through the pile of seedlings waiting to be planted, I was out of space in the garden. I would find myself cramming the rest of the seedlings in amongst the stuff I had already planted.
