I have a mess of seed starts. It's my first year ever doing this, so there are a few leggy plants from experiments that didn't quite work. I think they'll all be fine, though, and grow into happy, healthy plants.
We start with a very rough plan of the vegetable part of my back yard. West is at the top, and only part of the house is drawn in. The thing labeled "big bed" is 10 x 14, and the raised bed is small, only 4 x 4. So it's clearly not to scale! I only sent 10 minutes drawing this. The bark paths are already down, and wow, are they making it easier to get around on that slick, wet clay soil. Smart idea, if I do say so myself. The sunflowers and red amaranth go outside the chain link fence and get tall enough they'll shield the garden from the view of the road, in case anyone finds such things unsightly. I'm also growing more tomatoes in my front yard, in front of where I park the RV, and some birdhouse gourds outside the fence and not far from the ground cherries.
After that is some pix of seed starts, captioned.
