    There's an old  flexible, Yiddish saying - "Man plans and God laughs".

    My planting plans are flexible and will depend on the weather this spring.  Last year we had an early heatwave and drought so no point planting salad leaves or veggies needing lots of moisture to grow well.

    Ok I'll play these are bits of my plan, each rectangle equals one bed of 11m in length and 1m wide. (I have about 40 of these beds at any given time)

    This is a small bit of when things should be sown, how many and when for each seed. The actual maths for how many and when is on another sheet.

    Now I do this because I grow veg in a very large area (2000m2) about half an acre. I cannot keep all of what should be done when in my head, and it's no good looking at empty space and thinking oh yes I should transplant some lettuces.. if there's no lettuces waiting to be transplanted.

    Why is anyone even entertaining this?  :D

    Stop giving it  the oxygen. 
    However - here you are. My 'plan' is - the same as it always is - tomatoes in the growhouse, lettuce in troughs, raspberries under the window. That's it. That's what suits me, my climate and my space as, like many folk,  I don't have several acres to play with.

    I spent quite a lot of time drawing up my veg garden plans for the first 3 or 4 years I was growing veg. Experience enabled me to rationalise what I grow and memorise how to grow it. Now I don't need a plan to know how many beans or brassicas fit in my beds.

    Yes,  but what this poster wants is ideas for a book,    He’s already said that.  I can see a lot of plagiarism going on here.
    The bold statements ‘ Let’s see your maps’. I thinks that’s downright rude. 
    I just hope they’ve got a good proofreader or maybe the book won’t be written in English,  the OP hasn’t got a very good grasp of the English language.

    Lyn this has nothing to with my book.
    none plans posted would useful in book any way.
    you can't copyright garden plan you can only
    copyright a graphic drawing of it.  


    no has posted any  gardenplan s besides 
    Skandi BenCotto. BenCotto.'s would fail for breaking 
    a companion plant rule since onion supposedly 
    cause negative effect on bean growth since they supposedly
    are anti companion to bacteria that fix nitrogen for beans.

    I thought map was a strange word to use. You have copies of plans, not maps.

  • "map" is correct word since diagram,layout, plan.
    do not convey all  the components. of a good
    plan that a map does.  the diagram of my bed 1  has
    more components of map. than an ordinary diagram.

  • I think I'd actually need a map to negotiate WG's plans @BenCotto.  A flask of strong coffee probably wouldn't go amiss either  :D
