Brianna, We really appreciate your kind words and the time you took to comment—and shared with our tiny team here! The Almanac’s been around a long time so this page was created after hearing the most common questions from our readers! We’re so pleased that it helped you start a garden! That’s our goal here—to help everyone grow a little (or a lot!) of their own food! It’s smart that you are doing a lot of planning because some upfront planning is probably the most important step, especially when it comes to soil preparation and pest prevention. You can’t just throw seeds down and hope for the best. If you have more questions, let us know. We don’t get to every comment ourselves but we have a wonderful community of gardeners. Stay patient. Gardening is a never-ending learning cycle and we’re always learning ourselves! Also, you might appreciate our Garden Planner tool because it actually calculates those spacing questions for you and so much more. It’s free for 7 days, plenty of time to play around on your computer. https://gardenplanner.almanac.com/.
Sincerely, The Old Farmer’s Almanac editors.
