Garden Plans > 2013: Garden #4

About this Garden Plan

This is my fourth year of gardening. I've expanded every year except this one. I try to pack as much in as possible, but that's probably not very smart. I can't seem to help it! I love planting different varieties, and I use a five-crop rotation plan, so I need the space and I like filling it up with veggies. I guess I do not care very much about the "look" - by the end of July the garden can often look more like a jungle! Oh well....
