Garden Plans > 2012: Primary Garden

About this Garden Plan
Primary vegetable garden for a family of 4. We are working on a separate raised bed garden for root vegetables and fall crops, though we won't get to it this year. I have squeezed in some after planning the original garden layout. We also have an herb/flower/berry patch and chickens.
