Garden Plans > 2026: Keyhole

About this Garden Plan

I designed this with a hole in the middle where I can sit surrounded by my plants and be able to reach the entire bed without stepping inside of it. The shape was inspired by keyhole carden structures, I just didn't add a compost. Placing the peppers/tomatoes and beans on opposite sides was to hopefully make rotation easier for next year, as they will just swap.
