How do you plan a large vegetable garden?
Pick four or five of your favorite veggies, and plant just a few of each: things such as tomatoes, radishes, lettuce and peppers. Then each year add more things. Also, consider growing one new vegetable that you haven't had before each year, such as eggplant.
What is the best layout for a vegetable garden?
The most basic garden plan consists of a design with straight, long rows running north to south orientation.
