the plan!

I have been spending my evenings planning my garden planting.  Using my Christmas books and my list of veg that I like I'm starting to make a drawing of what will go where.

To see where the sun would shine at different times of the year I used  http://sketchup.google.com/ to draw the garden and the house (fairly roughly, it was raining so I didn't go outside to measure) and followed the instructions here: http://www.builditsolar.com/References/SketchUp/SketchUpEx.htm to see where there would be the most sunshine for sun hungry plants.  This was probably a bit much but it let me pretend to garden on a dark, wet night.


In principal I'm going to plant in 1m squares but I'll fill in gaps as I go, also, I haven't thought about what will grow when, I'll just write down what happens for next year.

The plan has a page all to its self here:  The Plan
