This is how a plan for Father Rivet's Garden looks after I get it ready for the new gardening year. I look at the previous couple of years so that I can see what can or should not be planted in certain spaces. A lot of thought goes into it, but after so many years of doing plans for this garden it doesn't take me very long.
The items in "spring blue" (not to be confused with those in purple - they look too close in color in the photo) need to be planted very soon. The cabbages, lettuces, and endive are all growing as healthy seedlings right now indoors under lights. The rest of the early spring crops will be direct-seeded into the garden sometime soon (need to get onion starts, too.) The beet and pea seeds will be soaked overnight before planting to encourage germination.
So, see if you can envision how the garden will look this year via this map. :)
