In the last post, we figured out what to plant and when to plant, but we didn't finish the where to plant section. My biggest snafu was accounting for plant spacing and lacking proper measurements for the garden plot.
I went back to our plot, snapped some pictures, and measured the plot size. It measures 3'9" by 20'.
Our extremely awesome extension agent friend came by to visit last night and recommended a great program for us to try. You can find it at: http://www.squidoo.com/VegetableGardenDesign#module35832802
It allows for proper spacing and quantity of plants and will even give you a planting chart to follow. Best of all, you get a thirty day trial before you have to even give anything other than an email.
Here is our resulting plot design (click on image to see full size):
We made sure to check the compatibility chart before finalizing the design.
Here are the pictures of our area:
