Andrea’s Garden Story
I like to say I got a graduate degree from all the garden videos, emails, tips, and tricks from The Old Farmer’s Almanac.
I could NOT have done what I did this year as a newbie without the Garden Planner. It was a huge blessing for me and helped me to follow my longer-term “farming” dream!

I’m constantly plugging it and telling people to join. It is hard to say just what a huge, life-changing impact this has had on my family and me.

Andrea’s Vegetable Garden Plan
(West Des Moines, Iowa)
Andrea planned out eight main garden beds and a few small beds for strawberries and sweet corn. She also used the space inside the garden fence to grow watermelons, squash, and a few other crops. Later, Andrea added arched trellises.
Note: Not all of Andrea’s garden is on the initial plot plan below, but this was where she started. We would advise gardeners who are planning a “year 2” to create a “follow-on plan” so that the plan can cue proper crop rotation. This also makes it quick and easy since the Garden Planner copies the layout and any perennials.
The Results! Beautiful Garden Photos
